Djibouti Customs Status & U.S. Trade Treatment
Tariff treatment, trade-agreement coverage, and live monthly U.S. import/export data for Djibouti.
As of April 2026, the United States imported $13.1M/month and exported $6.9M/month with Djibouti. This page covers Djibouti's customs status, applicable trade agreements, and the practical tariff treatment U.S. importers and exporters should expect.
Trade overview
Positioned at the mouth of the Red Sea, Djibouti functions primarily as a transit and transshipment hub for landlocked neighbors such as Ethiopia, rather than as a significant direct goods exporter to the United States. US imports originating in Djibouti are limited in volume and variety, but the country's strategic port infrastructure makes it a critical logistics node for East African supply chains. Trade professionals sourcing goods routed through Djibouti should pay close attention to rules-of-origin documentation to ensure correct country-of-origin declarations.
