Egypt: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report

In October 1, 2021, Egypt launched the Advanced Clearance Information system (ACI). The newly developed customs system was initially launched in a trial mode on April 1, 2021 and was officially launched in October. Traders must register within the designated platforms (CargoX for exporters and ACI for importers). The Egyptian government will no longer require Egyptian embassy authentication on certificates of origin as noted by the general manager of Misr Technology Services (MTS). It is expected that successful implementation of the new customs systems will reduce the average clearance time from the current 28 days to one day as indicated by Minister of Finance. So far, the release and clearance times are reported to be of an average 10 days.
