Import Support in Egypt
Al-Rouby provides practical support for importers planning shipments into Egypt — requirements, timing, and preparation — so first shipments and recurring flows both start from the right footing.
What does import support in Egypt include?
Import support covers the importer-side setup and preparation for bringing goods into Egypt: registration requirements, document readiness, ACI and Nafeza coordination, and the clearance plan — assembled so the shipment arrives ready to clear. Al-Rouby guides importers through this before cargo moves.
What should a first-time importer prepare?
Before the first shipment, an importer into Egypt should have the company registration and tax identity in order, the required document set defined, ACI readiness planned with the supplier, and any cargo-specific permits identified. Building this before booking is what separates a smooth first shipment from an expensive one.
- Company registration and importer-side identity requirements
- Document set defined for the cargo and regime
- ACI/Nafeza readiness planned with the supplier
- Permits for regulated cargo identified early
How does Al-Rouby support importers before and after arrival?
Before arrival, we prepare the file and the importer-side setup; after arrival, we execute clearance and connect the shipment to inland delivery — one continuous support line from planning to handover.
- Pre-shipment. Requirements review, document readiness, ACI coordination.
- At loading. File consistency checks so the declaration matches the shipping documents.
- On arrival. Clearance execution, inspection follow-up, release.
- Post-release. Inland delivery planning and handover confirmation.
Importers new to Egypt should also review our required import documents guide and the customs clearance guide.
