There are some problems if you need a car here: - prices are crazy. The new cars have a tax reaching up to 260% and used car are usually veeeery used. When they see you are an expat prices automatically double! - if you plan to import some spare parts from abroad you are immediately stopped at the custom and taxes can be higher than the price of the parts - internationaldriving licences are officially not accepted and you can have some problem with the police. Getting an ethiopian licence is becoming difficult and very expensive - if you have an accident and you kill somebody (not a remote possibility seen the people suddenly crossing unlighted roads at nights or sleeping on the edge of the road) you go directly to jail risking several years in prison -on up side, taxis are getting expensive and seen the average condition and age of the cars is not riskless. Taxi-Minivans, well i don t even want to think about it. Enjoi addis!
I dont know...but like all Ethiopian bureaucracy it will not be easy but if you have duty free status your employer will have staff to do these things..
