Useful information for sending a parcel to Egypt
Egypt may have a troubled recent past but there's business to be done and families to send items to via international courier services.
The country is only six others that cross continental boundaries. The others are
Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia,
Turkey and Panama. It's also one of the most populous countries in either Africa or the Middle East with no fewer than eighty-one million inhabitants.
The history of the country is as well-documented as it is lengthy, with many of the world's most important historic sites located within its borders.
Today much of Egypt's economy is dependent on petroleum exports and tourism, with a degree of agricultural exports too. Of course the Suez Canal is also a very significant income source and delivers many millions of Egyptian Pounds into the
Ministry of Finance every year.
When sending parcels to Egypt it is important to note that DVDs, CDs and Videos are subject to censorship. Furthermore, many types of office equipment may be subject to inspection by the Anti-Forgery Department. Also telephony and satellite equipment must be approved.
It would be advisable not to send any jewellery by international courier services into the country either.
Pornography, firearms are prohibited an alcoholic beverages can be penalised with import duty of anything up to 3000%.
You'll need a
pro forma invoice, a certificate of origin, a commercial invoice and a packing list.
The Egyptian Customs Authority is down for maintenance, however, we hope it'll be ready to inform you if you have any questions. Otherwise, you could email: Customs_H@customs.gov.eg for advice who I believe is based in Cairo.
We can help you send a small package to Egypt from £26.99 with DHL Air Express whilst a much heavier parcel would be £78.99.
