10th of Ramadan Industrial City — Customs Clearance & Factory Delivery
10th of Ramadan City is one of Egypt's largest manufacturing hubs, positioned directly between Greater Cairo and the Suez Canal / Red Sea port corridor. Al-Rouby supports 10th of Ramadan factories with pre-shipment ACI and document review, seaport and airport customs clearance, and direct container delivery from Ain Sokhna, Port Said, Damietta, Alexandria and Cairo International Airport.
Which ports and airports best serve 10th of Ramadan City factories?
Because 10th of Ramadan City sits on the eastern highway network between Cairo, Ismailia and Suez, its factories are uniquely well connected to Ain Sokhna Port on the Red Sea, East and West Port Said and Damietta on the Mediterranean, Alexandria/Dekheila for European lanes, and Cairo International Airport for air cargo.

What industrial imports do we clear for 10th of Ramadan manufacturers?
We clear production lines and industrial machinery, plastic sheets, films and resins, fabrics, yarns and textile inputs, chemicals, packaging materials and electrical/electronic components for factories across 10th of Ramadan's industrial zones.
- Industrial machinery and production lines: Declared as new, used or refurbished and backed by the manufacturer's technical catalogue to support HS classification and physical inspection (machinery import guide).
- Plastic sheets, films, polymers and raw materials: Checked for exact material composition, thickness/grade descriptions and tariff alignment (plastic sheets & films guide).
- Fabrics, yarns and textile inputs: Verified against current Egyptian Customs classification guidance, GOEIC registration rules (Decree 43/2016 where applicable) and Egyptian Standard ES 7266 (fabric imports).
- Industrial land context: Industrial land in Egypt is allocated through the Industrial Development Authority (IDA — official portal); we check that your customs file matches whether goods are imported for factory production (own use) or commercial trading.
How do we connect port release to your 10th of Ramadan factory bay?
We align the Nafeza declaration and inspection attendance with your factory's unloading hours, verify container gross weights (IMO SOLAS VGM) so trucks clear the port exit gate smoothly, and schedule empty-container return within carrier free time.
- Pre-shipment review of draft invoices, packing lists and Bills of Lading before loading.
- Duty and tax estimate provided before the Nafeza declaration is submitted.
- WhatsApp or email updates at every milestone: document review, ACID confirmation, declaration submission, inspection scheduling and release.
- Clearance is completed very quickly for shipments without regulatory holds; otherwise, the timeframe depends entirely on the specific regulatory agency's requirements.

Why should the supplier check the container weight?
Ask the supplier abroad to check each container's weight carefully before loading. In our files, a container weight that was not checked has held shipments at the port exit gate, even after clearance was complete. Under the IMO SOLAS rules, the shipper must also provide a verified gross mass for every packed container before it is loaded. More in common problems in Egypt-bound shipments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical questions about 10th of Ramadan City operations.
