Importing paper and hygiene products from China to Egypt: HS chapters, Egyptian rules and where they are made

Toilet paper, tissues, diapers and sanitary towels (HS 48.18, 96.19) are on the list.

HS chapters involved

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.

This is an overview, not legal advice; the latest rules of the Egyptian authorities prevail.
