Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist

FRAGMENTED STATE, no unified customs system. Mogadishu port operates under federal government with improving but still weak customs. Somaliland (Berbera port) runs its own relatively functional customs independently. Puntland has separate administration. Al-Shabaab controls some areas and imposes own 'taxes'. Piracy risk reduced but not eliminated. Most major couriers DO NOT serve Somalia. DHL has very limited Mogadishu service. Postal system non-functional. Most imports via Mogadishu, Berbera, or Bosaso ports. Hawala money transfer system used for payments. USD widely accepted. Humanitarian aid represents significant import volume.
