Frequently Asked Question

What documents are required for customs clearance in Egypt?

At minimum, you'll need a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Depending on the goods, you may also need a certificate of origin, import permit, health/phytosanitary certificates, or conformity documents. Clex reviews and prepares all necessary forms to meet Egyptian Customs requirements and ensures everything is submitted accurately and on time.

How long does customs clearance usually take?

Clearance time depends on the cargo type, inspection requirements, and the accuracy of the submitted documents. For standard shipments, clearance typically takes 1–3 business days. Delays can occur due to missing paperwork, value discrepancies, or required approvals—but with Clex managing the process, these risks are minimized.

Can Clex handle regulated or restricted goods?

Yes. We specialize in handling shipments that require special approvals—from pharmaceuticals and electronics to food products and machinery. We coordinate with health, agriculture, and telecom authorities as needed to secure the required permits and facilitate clearance through non-customs regulatory channels.

What happens if a shipment is flagged for inspection?

If your cargo is selected for physical inspection, Clex will arrange and supervise the process at the customs yard or bonded warehouse. We provide inspection support, respond to authority queries, and ensure all documentation is aligned so the shipment is released as quickly as possible.
