Is importing from Turkey cheaper than from China?
It depends on the product. China’s factory price may be lower, but Turkey is closer, transit is shorter, and goods of Turkish origin may benefit from duty reductions under the Egypt–Turkey trade agreement with a valid certificate of origin. Compare the full landed cost of each option, not just the factory price.

Is shipping from India to Egypt cheaper than from China?
India is closer, so transit may be shorter, but the rate depends on the route, direct-service availability, and season, so compare real quotations. More importantly, compare the product’s full landed cost, not only the freight.
Are there trade agreements that lower duty for some countries?
Yes. The main ones include the EU Association Agreement, the Greater Arab Free Trade Area, COMESA, the Agadir Agreement, the agreement with Turkey, the EFTA agreement, and the Mercosur agreement. To benefit, goods must meet the rules of origin with a valid certificate of origin.

Sea and air options are available, and the same Egyptian requirements apply: the Importers Register, an ACID, the documents, and product approvals. The US supplier also needs to register on CargoX. Contact us so we can check whether your route is one we cover.
Can I combine goods from suppliers in different countries?
In practice, goods from each country usually ship as separate shipments with their own documents and ACID, unless they are consolidated at a hub under a specific shipping arrangement. Each origin is treated for customs according to its country. Discuss the options with us based on your suppliers and timing.
