The basic idea of Egyptian import tariffs

How the HS code, customs value and origin together determine import duties and taxes; a concept note without rates.

The Harmonized System (HS) is maintained by the World Customs Organization; its first six digits are used worldwide and each country subdivides them. Egypt's customs tariff sets rates by HS code.
Customs duty is usually charged on the customs value, which starts from the transaction value and takes account of elements such as freight and insurance, so the Incoterm affects the declaration.
Besides customs duty, VAT and other taxes or charges may apply at import, as set by Egyptian Customs and current legislation.
Origin can decide whether trade agreement preferences apply, based on the agreement's rules and a valid certificate of origin.
If the same goods could fall under different codes, the rate and the controls can differ, so classification follows the material, function and use of the goods, not just the trade name.
This page explains the concept only and gives no rates; the final assessment is made by Egyptian Customs.
