What Regulations Are There on Importing Printers and Ink to Egypt?

  • Current importing regulations require that every component of a product be inspected, regardless of the compliance history of the product, country of origin, exporter, shipper or importer. No import can be sold in Egypt without first proving that it conforms to Egyptian standards if it is on the mandatory list of products requiring inspection.
  • All certificates issued concerning the shipment of product, and the product description, must be countersigned by the Chamber of Commerce and notarized by the Egyptian Embassy or Consulate in the country of origin.
  • When a shipment arrives in Egypt, the Customs and Security Office conducts a security check for illegal products, and the importer presents Customs with the documentation required to clear the shipment.
  • After reviewing these documents, Customs either clears the shipments for release to the importer directly or directs the consignment to other government entities for testing and inspection, coordinated by the General Organization for Export and Import Controls (GOEIC).
  • The following documents are required for imports and exports:
    Bills of lading; invoices; packing lists; certificates of origin; copies of letters of credit, bill of lading, and content analysis of the commodity.
  • An application for grant of license for hazardous chemicals shall be accompanied by an EIA of the project or industrial activity involving generation, collection, consignment, transport, treatment, disposal, storage, handling or import of a hazardous substance in respect of which the license is sought.
  • Because inks contain hazardous chemicals, it is important to follow Egypt’s import regulations.
