Description

The Revised Regulation on the Importation of Goods on Franco Valuta Basis, under article 2(5) and (7), provides for importation of goods on the basis of franco valuta, among others, for personal and household goods, excluding motor vehicles imported from abroad as gift and donation for family relatives and friends; and personal and household effects, excluding motor vehicles, imported by persons upon first arrival to take residence in Ethiopia. This is indicative of the fact that Importation through Franco Valuta Regulation does not bar asylum seekers and refugees from importing goods which fall within the aforementioned categories.
