Customs clearance, handled for you.
We provide comprehensive customs clearance services, managing all the necessary documentation and procedures so that your cargo moves smoothly.
Our clearing desk, or your own agent
Our clearing desk handles the customs paperwork, or you can name your own agent or freight forwarder when you order. Either way it is ordered on the same portal as the rail leg.
Cargo waiting for clearance stays in the dry port’s yard or warehouse until it moves on or is collected.
Checkpoints along the corridor
Shipments along the corridor pass through several key checkpoints. Understanding these stages helps you plan ahead, manage clearance requirements and keep your cargo moving.
- Port of Doraleh — the sea end of the line, where containers move between ship and train.
- Nagad — Djibouti’s main rail freight station.
- Dewele — the border, where customs formalities take place.
- Dire Dawa — the principal terminal in eastern Ethiopia, and a customs stop.
- Awash — a junction on the line.
- Mojo — the dry port where containers are cleared inland.
- Indode — the cargo terminal serving Addis Ababa.
