How medical devices actually clear into Egypt
Regulator & registration
- Authority
- EDA — Egyptian Drug Authority
- Local representative
- Mandatory. An Egyptian importer/agent registered with the EDA holds the registration.
- Realistic timeline
- 6–12 months
Registration route, in order
- Appoint an EDA-registered Egyptian importer
- Submit ISO 13485, CE Declaration of Conformity and a Free Sale Certificate legalised by the Egyptian consulate
- File the device registration with the EDA
- Technical evaluation and sample testing
- Registration issued; consignments then clear against it
Pre-shipment conformity
Egypt operates importer and factory registration requirements through GOEIC — the exporting factory itself must be on the approved register, separately from any product registration. A product registration alone does not entitle a factory to ship.
Duty & tax by HS heading
| HS | Product | Duty | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4015.12 | Surgical and examination glovesMedical supply exemptions exist and are applied case by case | Indicative — confirm against the current Egyptian tariff | 14% VAT |
Indicative and tied to the HS heading shown. Tariff lines change and your exact classification governs — confirm against the current schedule before pricing. Checked May 2026.
Ports & clearance
Alexandria and Port Said are the main entries; Damietta and Sokhna also take volume. Transit from Nhava Sheva or Mundra is short by African standards. Foreign-exchange availability has been the practical constraint on Egyptian imports, more than duty or clearance.
Assuming product registration is sufficient. The GOEIC factory registration is a separate gate, and a shipment from an unregistered factory is refused regardless of the product's status.
