Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Egypt importers working with China24.
How long does shipping from China to Egypt take?
Sea freight from major Chinese ports to Alexandria Port takes 22–30 days via Suez Canal. To Port Said it's similar — 20–28 days. Air freight to Cairo International Airport takes 5–7 business days. We recommend sea freight for cost-sensitive large orders.
What are Egypt's import duties on goods from China?
Egypt's customs duties vary significantly by product — ranging from 5% for industrial machinery to 40% for consumer goods and electronics. A customs development fee (2%) and VAT (14%) also apply. Total landed cost can reach 60–70% above FOB for some categories. We calculate full landed costs upfront to prevent surprises.
What import documents are required for Egypt?
Egypt requires a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and in many cases a Conformity Certificate issued by an accredited body. GOEIC (General Organization for Export & Import Control) regulates many categories. China24 coordinates all required documentation.
Can China24 help with Egypt's import registration requirements?
Yes. Egypt requires importers to be registered with GOEIC. We advise on compliance requirements and work with experienced Egyptian customs brokers to ensure smooth clearance at Alexandria and Port Said.
What is the best port for importing from China to Egypt — Alexandria or Port Said?
Alexandria is Egypt's main commercial port and best for most consumer goods destined for Cairo and the Delta. Port Said (East Port Said Container Terminal) is well-positioned for Suez Canal corridor goods and has strong connections to Chinese shipping lines. We advise based on your cargo type and final destination.
