The two-character ISO 3166 country code for ETHIOPIA.

ET

1. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. This is the code used in international transactions to and from Ethiopian bank accounts.

2. ISO 3166-2 geocode for Ethiopia. This is used as an international standard for shipping to Ethiopia. Each administration and state has its own code with the prefix "ET." For example, the code for the State of Afar is ISO 3166-2:ET-AF.
