Importing into Egypt

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

  1. Appoint an EDA-registered Egyptian importer
  2. Submit ISO 13485, CE Declaration of Conformity and a Free Sale Certificate legalised by the Egyptian consulate
  3. File the device registration with the EDA
  4. Technical evaluation and sample testing
  5. 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

HSProductDutyTax

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.

The mistake that costs importers here

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.
