Trade Compliance Services for Egypt

Seven services, one market. Everything below covers goods moving into or out of Egypt, handled by specialists who work Egyptian customs procedures daily, not across a network of countries. Importing into Egypt touches classification, registration, advance filing, and clearance, and each service here owns a different part of that.

Our Services

Importer of Record

We become the responsible importing party on your declaration, so you can sell into Egypt without registering a company there. That covers GOEIC standing, classification, Nafeza filing, duties, and clearance, along with the liability that sits behind all of them.

Import under our registration

Exporter of Record

The same principle in reverse. We act as the responsible exporting party for goods leaving Egypt, handling classification, export licensing where controls apply, declarations, and documentation.

Export from Egypt

Distributor of Record

The layer after clearance. We warehouse, fulfill, and distribute your goods inside Egypt on your behalf, holding the operational and legal standing at the distribution layer, so you reach the market without forming a local entity.

Distribute without an entity

Import Licensing & Product Approvals

The approvals that sit in front of customs. We map every certification and registration your product class requires, prepare the technical files, and submit them to the issuing authorities before your goods ship.

Map your approvals

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP)

A complete door-to-door arrangement where every cost is settled before your goods arrive. Freight, export formalities, Egyptian clearance, duty, and VAT are all handled in advance, and the recipient signs for the delivery with nothing left to pay.

Deliver duty paid

Reverse Logistics

The full returns operation, from intake and condition grading through refurbishment, restocking, recycling, and responsible disposal. Where returns cross a border, we handle the customs and duty treatment alongside the physical movement.

Move goods back out

Return Merchandise Authorization

The approval step at the front of a returns process. We validate the request, issue the authorization, and manage the customs treatment on both the returning unit and its replacement, so a warranty swap does not wait for the return to complete.

Which Service Is Right for You?

Eight options are enough to stall a decision, so start with what you are trying to do rather than what the service is called. The distinctions that matter are direction of travel, who carries the compliance obligation, and whether a regulator sits in front of customs.

If you need to

Import into Egypt without a local company

Start with Importer of Record, because someone has to be the responsible importer on the declaration, and it has to be an Egyptian-registered party.

If you need to

Ship goods out of Egypt

Start with Exporter of Record,The outbound side needs its own responsible party, and controlled goods need licensing before they move.

If you need to

Reach the Egyptian market without a local entity

Start with Distributor of Record , Warehousing and distribution need their own standing, which is separate from the standing required to import.

If you need to

Import goods a regulator has to approve first

Start with Import Licensing and Product Approvals. Sector approvals run on their own timeline and have to be in place before the entry can be lodged.

If you need to

Deliver with nothing to pay at the door

Start with Delivered Duty Paid. Duty and VAT are settled in advance, so the recipient is never asked for money on arrival.

If you need to

Import anything with a radio or wireless module

Start with Import Licensing NTRA Compliance. Type approval sits outside the customs process and runs on its own timeline.

If you need to

Handle a steady flow of returns

Start with Reverse Logistics. Returns need grading and a disposition decision, not just a warehouse to sit in.

Learn more

If you need to

Approve and track individual returns or warranty swaps

Start with Return Merchandise Authorization. An unauthorized return is a parcel nobody can identify, and replacements have their own duty position.

Learn more

Most shipments need more than one. A telecom importer typically combines NTRA approval with Importer of Record, and an e-commerce seller usually pairs DDP with a returns arrangement. We work out the combination during the first conversation rather than asking you to pick from a menu.

Industries we serve

Regulatory requirements vary more by sector than by service, which is why the industries we serve are documented separately.

Telecommunications

NTRA type approval before anything with a radio module enters Egypt.

Technology Hardware

Dual-use controls at origin, closer valuation on arrival.

Medical Devices

EDA registration and import licensing before goods ship.

Data Storage

Project-scale imports on staged delivery schedules.

E-Commerce

Duty predictability and the volume of goods coming back.

Agricultural Products

Phytosanitary and quarantine clearance before goods are released.

Renewable Energy and Solar

Grid-connection registration for feed-in systems, and PV component standards.

What makes us special

One market, in depth

Global providers spread across dozens of countries. We work in Egypt, which is what turns a classification query into a same-day answer rather than a research task.

Regulatory relationships that hold

Direct working familiarity with GOEIC, Nafeza, and NTRA procedures, which matters most when a file needs rework rather than when it goes smoothly.

Where approvals stack

A connected device can sit under two regulators at once. We screen across every axis rather than one category at a time, so nothing surfaces at the port.

One accountable partner

Approval, classification, filing, and clearance handled by the same team, so nothing falls between providers at a handover.

End-to-end coverage

Inbound, outbound, and everything that comes back. Most clients start with one service and add others as their Egyptian volumes grow.

Consistent across your portfolio

Companies importing more than one category get the same team across all of them, rather than a different provider per product line.

Most Shipments Need More Than One Service

Telecom imports usually combine NTRA approval with Importer of Record. E-commerce sellers tend to pair DDP with a returns arrangement. Send us the shipment and we will map the combination rather than asking you to assemble it yourself.
