Importing from China to Egypt: an overview of the steps

An overview of the main steps, from the Importers Register and product requirements to ACI pre-registration and customs clearance.

Make sure the importing entity is on the GOEIC Importers Register and has the digital signature needed for Nafeza.
Find the product's HS code and check whether it is on the Decree 43 list or needs a specific NTRA, EDA or NFSA approval.
Verify the Chinese supplier (business licence, unified social credit code, factory registration status) and sign a contract that fixes item, specification, quantity, Incoterm and inspection terms.
The Chinese exporter registers and verifies a CargoX account and sends its company details to the importer.
The importer files the ACI on Nafeza, receives the ACID number and sends it to the exporter and forwarder.
The exporter puts the ACID on the bill of lading and uploads the bill copy, packing list, invoice, structured invoice and certificate of origin through CargoX.
When the goods arrive at the Egyptian port, the importer or a broker holding a power of attorney handles declaration, inspection and release.
