Registration and the Certificate of Inspection for Exports to Egypt

Intertek is approved by GOEIC to issue the mandatory Certificate of Inspection for exports of Regulated Products to Egypt

In March 2016 The Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade in Egypt recently issued two decrees.

• 991/2015
• 43/2016

These Decrees introduced significant changes to the import clearance procedure and also the expansion of the list of Regulated products.

Manufacturers or Trademark Owners of regulated products must register with Egypt’s General Organization of Export and Import Control (GOEIC) to export to Egypt.

The Regulated Product list now includes (but is not limited to): 

• Textiles
• Electricals 
• Health and Beauty products
• Sanitary ware 
• Toys
• Tableware
• Lighting

GOEIC also confirmed that a Certificate of Inspection must be issued for all regulated product shipments for Customs clearance at Egyptian Ports and Borders.

Intertek is approved to issue the Certificate of Inspection for exports to Egypt by GOEIC.
