Ethiopian Post tracking

All Ethiopian Post shipments can be found on the Postal Ninja package tracker by entering the tracking number in the search field and clicking the "Find by tracking number" button.

Ethiopian Post is the Ethiopia's national postal operator, providing shipping services both domestically and internationally. In addition to standard deliveries, it also handles package deliveries. As part of the EMS cooperative, Ethiopian Post is an official operator for the delivery of EMS shipments.

The international postal regulations strictly prohibit the shipment of narcotics, psychotropic or explosive substances and materials, inflammable substances, or any other kind of danger. All shipping rules, including those that restrict dimensions, weight, and postal packaging, can be found on the Ethiopian Post's website.

What are Ethiopian Post tracking numbers like?

Letters and parcels are sent with a Ethiopian Post tracking number, which can be used to track the movement of the package. The sender may not register small packages and letters, in which case they will not have a tracking number.

Ethiopian Post's tracking number format looks like this:

  • RA123456785ET: small packages from Ethiopia weighing up to 2 kg always start with the letter R, from the word Registered;

  • CD123456785ET: the tracking number for Ethiopian Post shipments weighing up to 20 kg always starts with the letter C;

  • EE123456785ET: EMS express deliveries start with the letter E.

According to the international format of the Universal Postal Union, the structure of the tracking number has a specific meaning for each letter and digit:

  • First letter R/C/E: indicates the type of shipment. A Ethiopian Post tracking number that starts with the letter R (Registered) designates registered small packages;

  • 123456785: this numerical sequence provides a uniqueness;

  • ET: refers to the country of the originating postal service.

Tracking of Ethiopian Post postal packages

Tracking international postal shipments from Ethiopia can be a very useful tool for controlling their transit. Postal statuses will inform you at which stage the shipment is.

With a "package received" status, the recipient can be sure that it has been sent. After that, Ethiopian Post shipments in transit go to a distribution center, where they are sorted and directed to the international mail exchange point. The Ethiopian Post items are then cleared through customs and delivered to the designated postal operator in the destination country. This is known as the "export" tracking stage. Once imported, they go through a similar process in the destination country. The final tracking status indicates that the package has been delivered.
