All sea shipments to Egypt must be registered in the Advance Cargo Information system through the NAFEZA platform before loading, and the ACID number has to appear on the invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Send us the ACID as soon as it is issued. Hazardous chemicals generally need approval from the EEAA and other competent ministries. APIs and excipients are controlled by the Egyptian Drug Authority, which may require manufacturer registration and batch analysis. Dangerous goods are declared under IMDG or IATA rules.
