Haiti open to trade from landlocked country (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethiopian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trade from landlocked country' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I can't see how they can define each other.

'haiti open' is the wordplay.
'haiti open' anagrams to 'ETHIOPIAN'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ethiopian that I've seen before include "from African country" , "African national" , "Like Emperor Haile Selassie?" , "found in Addis Ababa" , "From, eg, Addis Ababa" .)
