The Ethiopian Customs Commission (ECC) plays a pivotal role in combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime, ensuring the integrity of global trade and promoting economic development. With a clear focus on transparency and efficiency, ECC has implemented various initiatives such as online portals for customs declarations, a public awareness campaign, and a blockchain-based system for verifying the origin of goods. These efforts help safeguard Ethiopia’s borders from illegal trade while promoting legitimate business activities.
ECC’s commitment extends beyond national borders, with active participation in international and regional cooperation to enhance cross-border enforcement. The agency has signed agreements with neighboring countries and the World Customs Organization to foster information sharing and collaborative operations. Additionally, ECC’s legal reforms and capacity-building initiatives, alongside its strategic use of advanced technology and sustainable development practices, strengthen its ability to combat transnational crimes. By prioritizing public awareness, stakeholder engagement, and compliance, ECC continues to lead the way in safeguarding Ethiopia’s economic interests and supporting a fair, secure trading environment.
