Ethiopia: linking the PVoC / CoC to clearance
Clearance in Ethiopia generally requires the PVoC / CoC documents first; missing certificates directly delay release.

Key points
- The certificate is valid 90 days; clear within that window.
- Certificates usually cannot be issued after departure, and used equipment is also covered; allow time for inspection when booking.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
