Egyptian Ministry of Finance (Customs Authority) activate article 39 of customs law 207 of 2020 and issue decree 38 of 2021. Which requires a unique customs registration number (Advanced Cargo Information Declaration (ACI) for each incoming shipment imported into Egypt that must be included on all shipping documents. The ACI system is based on making the shipment data available to Egyptian customs before shipping from the country of export.

Steps to follow for shipment registration

  • Importer has to register an account on the electronic portal, Nafeza.
  • Importer has to register the essential data of the shipment including: description of goods, exporter details, purchase order number, purchase date, origin, POL, POD, 10-digit HSCode.
  • The Customs Authority will respond by either accepting and issuing an ACI number or rejecting the application.
  • Importer must notify the exporter of the ACI number to be registered on all shipping documents for the shipment.
  • 48 hours before cargo ships from Port of Loading, exporter must submit draft documents to CargoX platform or its integrated partners such as Timber Exchange by Centersource Technologies.
  • Upon cargo arrival importer is also responsible for filling SAD form (Single Administrative Document) with all details of the shipment.

Important Points to consider

  • If the documents are not uploaded by exporter 48h before shipment from Port of Loading, the cargo will be banned from being loaded on board.
  • In a scenario where the cargo is loaded on board but the documents were not submitted in time or the ACI number is missing from the shipping documents, the cargo will not be discharged in Egypt, all reexport costs will be borne by the carrier.
  • Small discrepancies in documents will be permitted such as volume 210.5 to 211, but change of product description or type of goods is not allowed.
  • If consignee is changed after documents submission to CargoX, but 48 hours before loading on vessel - then the new importer can go to Nafeza and create a new shipment ACI.
  • All exporters must be registered on CargoX platform or its integrated partners such as Timber Exchange by Centersource Technologies.

Benefits of electronic documents and customs declarations

  • Exporter must no longer legalize documents in chamber of commerce or Egyptian consulate.
  • Exporter must no longer send physical document by DHL, instead the exporter will upload documents on the CargoX platform or its integrated partners such as Timber Exchange by Centersource Technologies., whilst the importer uses Nafeza platform to generate the ACI number.
  • Use of CargoX platform is not free for exporter, a small fee must be paid per set of documents that is yet to be determined. Eventually the technology is expected to save on legalization and courier fees.
