# BETTERluck Trade Facilitation Services (TFS): Ethiopia Product Conformity Assessment (PCA)
Dear Exporters & Importers,
If you’re shipping goods to Ethiopia, BETTERluck Trade Facilitation Services (TFS) is your trusted partner for navigating Ethiopia’s **Product Conformity Assessment (PCA)**—a mandatory regulatory requirement for all imports into the country. Our specialized services ensure your shipments meet PCA standards, enabling smooth customs clearance and avoiding costly delays.
## Understanding Ethiopia’s Product Conformity Assessment (PCA)
Enforced by the Ethiopian Standards Agency (ESA), the PCA program is designed to verify that imported products comply with Ethiopia’s safety, health, and quality regulations. This requirement applies to a wide range of goods, including:
- Electronics and electrical appliances
- Textiles, clothing, and footwear
- Construction materials and hardware
- Machinery and industrial equipment
- Chemicals, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals
- Food and agricultural products
Without a valid PCA certificate, your shipment may be detained at Ethiopia’s major ports (such as Djibouti, the primary gateway for Ethiopian imports) or airports (Addis Ababa Bole International Airport), leading to storage fees, re-inspection costs, or even rejection.

- **Pre-Shipment Inspection**: Our accredited inspectors conduct on-site checks of your goods in China (e.g., Guangzhou, Shenzhen) to assess compliance with ESA standards, including product safety, labeling, and performance.
