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.
