I am transiting through Ethiopia on my way to South Africa with two rifles. I have not found a specific form for the Ethiopean border authority for the firearms. I have the Canadian export, SAPS and Ethiopian Airlines forms. Am I missing one for the Ethiopian border authority?
 
Have you checked out africahunting.com? I am on that forum and there is a lot of information there about this topic.
I am heading over in August but am flying United to Jobo through Newark.

Sorry, I thought I was posting to help a guy on another forum. Long day! I think I'll go have a scotch!

But yes, I did search that particular forum. :D
 
There was no Ethiopian firearm permit when I flew through on way to Zimbabwe last year, just the Ethiopian firearm declaration. However, make sure you declare to the people at desk before your flight to Addis Ababa you have a firearm and not just on initial check in at your home airport.
 
I was through Addis Ababa twice recently, there and back.
1, Copy of your passport.
2, Proof of ownership of the firearms concerned. (My licences sufficed)
3, The Ethiopian airlines form.
That worked ok for me anyway. Have a great trip.
 
Thanks guys, it looks like I have everything needed. I appreciate the confirmation.

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
