Documents

Before sea shipment, the Egyptian importer registers the shipment on Nafeza to obtain an ACID number, and the Chinese exporter must hold a verified CargoX account to send the invoice, packing list, bill of lading copy and certificate of origin electronically. The customs FAQ states that from 1 October 2021, sea cargo whose bills of lading carry no ACID is not unloaded in Egyptian ports.
