Importing lighting from China to Egypt: HS chapters, Egyptian rules and where they are made
Household lighting is on the list; luminaires usually fall in chapter 94, light sources and electronics in chapter 85.
HS chapters involved
- Chapter 85 · Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV equipment
- Chapter 94 · Furniture; bedding; lamps and lighting fittings
Egyptian rules that may apply
- Factory / trademark-owner registration (Decree 43/2016): Ministerial Decree 43 of 2016, with additions in Decree 44 of 2019, lists products that may be released only if they come from a manufacturer or trademark owner registered with GOEIC. Confirm the Chinese factory or brand owner is registered before you order.
- Egyptian standards (EOS): The Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality (EOS) issues Egyptian standards. Imported goods are generally checked against the applicable standard and inspected at the border by GOEIC, so tell the factory which standard applies and check that its test reports cover it.
