Which port do you ship to for Ethiopia?
Shipments for Ethiopia usually move through the transit corridor via Djibouti. We quote FOB Indian port, CFR or CIF via Djibouti, and can coordinate onward delivery through your forwarder.

Indicative sea transit from Gujarat ports to East Africa is about 12–22 days, plus production and inland time. The confirmed schedule depends on the carrier and routing and is given in the quotation.
