About Importing to Egypt
Ordering from AliExpress into Egypt means your parcel clears through the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) and the Nafeza single-window platform, which requires an ACI declaration before shipping. Egypt import duties range from 5% on electronics to 40% on clothing, layered with 14% VAT and excise on specific categories. The egypt customs tariff sets the rate for each product line, and this tool applies it to your CIF value so the custom duties in egypt you'll owe are clear upfront. Because egypt import tariffs vary so widely by category, the breakdown above shows duty, VAT and excise separately for your true landed cost. Either way, the egypt import tax line in the result shows the exact amount Egyptian Customs will charge, so the number you pay is the number the estimate returns.
How Import Duties Are Calculated for Egypt
Egyptian Customs, under the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), assesses import duties through the Nafeza single-window platform. Since 2021, all shipments to Egypt require an Advance Cargo Information (ACI) declaration filed at least 48 hours before departure, generating a unique ACID number that tracks the consignment through customs. Importers register on the Nafeza portal and use electronic signatures to submit declarations.
Duty rates vary significantly by product category: electronics attract 5%, appliances and accessories 20%, cosmetics 30%, and clothing up to 40%. After import duty, VAT at 14% is applied on the duty-inclusive CIF value. Excise duty at 5% applies to cosmetics and certain luxury goods. Use this Egypt import duty calculator to see your complete landed-cost breakdown based on current ETA rates.
