Landed cost, import eligibility, and shipping route for the BMW 5 Series exported from China to Ethiopia.
The 5 Series lands in Ethiopia at roughly $22,550–$50,900 all-in. That is FOB China $15,000–$36,000 plus ocean freight (~$2,300), import duty (35% plus excise) and port clearance.
Ethiopia sets no fixed age cap on used imports, but duty and excise scale with engine size and first-registration date — we confirm both before quoting. Ethiopia is a left-hand-drive (LHD) market, so every unit we stock for it is LHD and ready to register. Clearance is via Djibouti → Addis Ababa.
Our 5 Series stock: 55 units, model years 2011–2024, 15,000–270,000 km, 2.0T 252PS L4. The final landed figure shifts a few hundred dollars with the exact unit and freight quote — send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed CIF.
