Alexandria & Dekheila Ports — Customs Clearance & Port Support
Alexandria and Dekheila handle a large share of Egypt's Mediterranean import flow. Al-Rouby Customs provides customs clearance and port support there, where success depends on controlling document accuracy and execution timing.
What are Alexandria and Dekheila ports?
The Port of Alexandria is Egypt's historic Mediterranean gateway, and Dekheila is its adjacent deep-water extension handling container and bulk volumes. Together they process a large share of Egypt's Mediterranean import flow.
The two ports operate as one clearance ecosystem for importers: cargo routing between them depends on terminal capacity, cargo type, and vessel schedules. What matters most for the importer is that files in this environment must be accurate — volume punishes document errors with queue time.

How does customs clearance work at Alexandria and Dekheila?
Clearance follows the national process — ACI readiness before loading, Nafeza declaration, classification and valuation, inspection where selected, and release. In this high-volume environment, document accuracy and execution timing are the two variables importers control — and the two that decide how fast cargo leaves.
Our work here centers on pre-arrival file discipline: catching discrepancies before the vessel berths, so the file is ready to move the moment customs review begins.
