Why it works
The next step stays honest.
Alemport turns supplier updates, inspection evidence, shipping quotes, and document release into a workflow operators can control.
Who owns it?
Alemport coordinates suppliers, inspectors, shipping agents, and customer approvals from one controlled file.
Can it move?
Progress depends on required inputs, not loose status labels or scattered chat updates.
Free customs check
Estimate Ethiopia duty before the shipment is committed.
Search by product name or HS code without logging in.
What the public tool is using
The rate selection comes from the saved Ethiopia customs tariff snapshot. If the customer does not know the HS code, the tool searches the saved tariff text by product name and asks them to pick the closest tariff line. Because there is no public exchange-rate snapshot loaded in the app yet, the result is shown in the same currency unit as the CIF price you entered.
Result
Estimated duty and border taxes
All amounts below are shown in the same currency unit as the CIF price the customer entered.
Enter the product and CIF price
Add the product name and CIF price, then either enter the HS code or search the tariff by product name.
