You might swim if you're alone and have time, but not with a cooler full of sandwiches.\nSimilarly, quick air freight is perfect for light, urgent shipments, while ocean freight manages bulk loads cost-effectively. However, road and rail aren't options given the Mediterranean Sea acting like a moat. The best choice will be the one that caters to your shipping needs and challenges while considering the geographical realities.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cac8efd link-list-item-destination elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-link-list-widget\" data-id=\"2cac8efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-link-list-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"link-list-item text-center\">\r\n            <ul class=\"m-0 p-0\">\r\n                <li>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#main-shipping\">\r\n                            Sea freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#air-freight\">\r\n                            Air Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#rail-freight\">\r\n                            Rail Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#road-freight\">\r\n                            Road Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#door-to-door\">\r\n                            Door-to-Door                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#customer-clear\">\r\n                            Customs Clearance                        <\/a>\r\n                                    <\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-237d0d28 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"237d0d28\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65d83810 sidebar-sticky elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"65d83810\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54029a73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-table-of-content-widget\" data-id=\"54029a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-table-of-content-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"table-of-content-list-item\">\r\n            <div class=\"title d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n                Table of Contents                <label class=\"docshipper switch\">\r\n                    <input type=\"checkbox\" checked>\r\n                    <span class=\"slider round\"><\/span>\r\n                <\/label>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- TOC -->\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"toc-container\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"note-content\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/docshipper\/assets\/img\/cta.png')\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need help with your shipment?<\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need assistance with your shipment?

This is roughly the tipping point where the cost per cubic meter starts to become cheaper with an FCL ship. It also provides peace of mind with the container sealed from origin to destination, ensuring your goods' safety.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, if you're a machinery manufacturer in the UK, sending multiple pallets of heavy equipment to Egypt, you may find an FCL container more economical. Due to the bulkier and high-volume nature of your shipment, getting an FCL shipping quote for a <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>20'ft or 40'ft container<\/strong><\/span> would bring cost efficiencies.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The cost of FCL shipping is affordable for high volume; roughly, the larger the shipment, the lower the cost per unit. The cost also includes the peace of mind of minimizing risk as the sealed container remains unopened until its destination. However, remember, using FCL means you pay for the entire container, even if it's not full.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2682\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> LCL, or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/sea-freight-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Less than Container Load<\/a><\/strong>, is a method of shipping that groups multiple shippers\u2019 cargo into one container. The term 'LCL shipment' refers to a freight forwarding strategy designed for smaller cargo volumes that don't fill a whole container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL shipping is particularly beneficial when your cargo volume is less than <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">13, 14, or 15 CBM<\/span><\/strong>. If you're not on a tight schedule and have a smaller budget, LCL can allow for flexibility and cost-effectiveness as you only pay for the space you use.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose your business needs to transport <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">10 CBM<\/span> <\/strong>of machinery parts from Manchester, UK to Alexandria, Egypt. With LCL freight, your cargo would be grouped into a container with other shippers' cargo going the same route, saving you from costly empty space in a full container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> LCL saves money by splitting the container costs among multiple shippers. However, note that this method may have additional handling charges due to the consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo, and it's slightly riskier due to more handling. Ultimately, LCL shipping offers an affordable solution for businesses with smaller shipping volumes.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">With ocean freight complexities and international regulations, choosing between consolidation or full container shipping from the UK to Egypt can be daunting.

Gross weight is the actual physical weight of a shipment, measured in kilograms (kg). On the other hand, volumetric weight, also known as dimensional weight, reflects how much space your shipment takes up on an aircraft, not necessarily its actual weight.<\/p><br><p>Calculating these for air cargo and Express Air Freight services differ slightly. For air cargo, the volumetric weight is estimated by multiplying the Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) of your shipment and then dividing by a standard factor of 6000. In express airfreight, the same rule applies but the standard divisor is 5000.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re shipping a box from the UK to Egypt that is 40cm long, 30cm wide, and 20cm high, and it weighs 15kg. Its volumetric weight (Air Cargo) would be (40 x 30 x 20) \/ 6000 = 4 kg (or about 8.8 lbs). However, in express airfreight, the volumetric weight would be (40 x 30 x 20) \/ 5000 = 4.8 kg (or about 10.6 lbs).<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong> As you can see, the gross weight (15 kg or 33 lbs) is higher than the volumetric weight in both calculations, so that&#8217;s what the freight charges would be based on.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The reason these calculations matter is because freight charges are determined based on whichever is higher &#8211; the gross weight or the volumetric weight. It ensures that carriers are paid sufficiently for the space your shipment occupies, regardless of its physical weight. So it&#8217;s wise to have an idea of both measures when planning your shipment.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-43683a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"43683a3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2660\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2661\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2676\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51daf31d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"51daf31d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40af96a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40af96a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between UK and Egypt<\/h2><br><p><strong><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/door-to-door-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Door to door<\/a><\/strong> shipping is a comprehensive solution that takes your goods from a UK address right to an Egyptian doorstep.

Here are the main five reasons why:<\/p><br><p><strong>1. Trade Agreements:<\/strong> Egypt and the UK are bound by certain trade agreements. Identifying the country of origin allows you to leverage these pacts, which directly impact customs duties.<\/p><br><p><strong>2. HS Code:<\/strong> The Harmonized System code gives detailed product classification in international trade. Country of origin determination is foundational to acquiring the right code.<\/p><br><p><strong>3. Goods&#8217; Description:<\/strong> Comprehensive goods&#8217; description corresponds directly with the land of origin, which leads to smoother customs clearance.<\/p><br><p><strong>4. Regulations: <\/strong>Egypt imposes import restrictions based on the source country. Pinpointing your goods&#8217; origin simplifies regulation navigation.<\/p><br><p><strong>5. Taxes:<\/strong> Your import&#8217;s source country determines the tax bracket it falls in, greatly influencing any additional cost.<\/p><br><p>Make sure you study the trade agreements between Egypt and the UK for possible exclusions or reduced taxes.

This system is a globally recognized method for classifying traded products. It&#8217;s composed of a series of numbers that identify a product, serving as a universal economic language and code for goods. This assists in crossing language barriers and reducing misunderstanding among traders.<\/p><br><p><strong>Since they&#8217;re intimately familiar with the goods they&#8217;re exporting and the associated regulations, your supplier is typically the best source for obtaining the HS Code of your product. However, if that&#8217;s not feasible, don&#8217;t worry! We have a simple process to assist you in finding this code.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The first step is to use an HS lookup tool such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a><\/strong>. Once you&#8217;re on the webpage, write the name of your product in the search bar to find possible matches. Once you have the results, look for the HS code under the Heading\/Subheading column.<\/p><br><p>A word of caution: accuracy is key when choosing an HS Code. Mistakes can lead to shipment delays and could potentially incur fines. So, ensure you are selecting the correct HS Code for your product.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s an infographic showing you how to read an HS code. This visual reference is designed to guide you through each section of an HS Code, making it easier for you to understand and find the right code for your commercial products.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec6f1b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec6f1b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-72b98f34\" data-id=\"72b98f34\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68144445 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68144445\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2678\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67d969be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67d969be\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43b3223c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43b3223c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 3 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3><br><p>Overwhelmed by customs duties? Let&#8217;s ease the tough task with a clear understanding of how to calculate the customs value. It&#8217;s not the same as the value of your products; it encompasses a bit more! For importing goods from the UK to Egypt, you&#8217;re looking at the CIF value, which comprises the cost of the products, international shipping fee, and insurance expenses.<\/p><br><p><strong>So, imagine you have products valued at $20,000, shipping costs at $2,000, and an insurance worth $300. Your customs value isn&#8217;t stuck at $20,000. It&#8217;s the sum of all three &#8211; $22,300! Remember, each component influences your final dues. Breaking them down helps keep an eye on your costs and avoids any surprising bills at Egypt&#8217;s customs clearance!<\/strong><\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26fa11bc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"26fa11bc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb09ecbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb09ecbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An import tariff, also known as a customs duty, is a tax imposed on goods when they are transported across international borders. It&#8217;s one of the key elements calculated for customs clearance. The tariff used in the UK is determined by their own Trade Tariff Tool. This allows you to determine the necessary cost of your imported goods from the UK to Egypt.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s a step-by-step method to use it:<\/p><br><p>1. Navigate to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trade Tariff Tool<\/a> <\/strong>&#8211; UK Government .<br \/><br>2. Type in the HS code of your product that you identified earlier, along with the country of origin (in this case, the UK).<br \/><br>3. This will provide the relevant details, including the duties and taxes applicable to your product.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s run through an example:<\/p><br><p><strong>Say you&#8217;re importing plastic kitchenware (HS Code: 3924.10) from the UK. Using the Trade Tariff Tool, you find that the tariff rate is 12%. If your total CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) is valued at $10,000, the import duties can be calculated like so:<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Import Duties = CIF cost Tariff Rate = $10,000 12\/100 = $1,200<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>This means an additional $1,200 will need to be paid in import duties, on top of the CIF cost. Remember, the customs authorities in the destination country may also levy additional taxes, so factor these into your final cost calculation.<\/strong><\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ba322d6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4ba322d6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1085becf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1085becf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>Being aware of various additional import duties and taxes when importing goods from the UK to Egypt is crucial. Not every product coming into Egypt will be subjected to standard customs tariff alone. Depending on the product&#8217;s nature and its origin, charges like excise duty, anti-dumping taxes, or most significantly, Value Added Tax (VAT) can apply.<\/p><br><p>For example,<strong> let&#8217;s imagine you&#8217;re importing handbags. The standard tariff might be 10% of the product&#8217;s value, but the excise duty could add another 15%. On top of that, you might face an anti-dumping tax of, say, 5% if it&#8217;s found that these handbags are being sold in Egypt below their fair market value. Additionally, a 14% VAT is applicable on the total customs value (product value+standard tariff+excise duty) for many items.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>So, your total payable duties and taxes would be:<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>Handbags&#8217; Value ($1000) + Standard Tariff ($100) + Excise Duty ($150) + Anti-dumping tax ($50) = $1300.<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>And then, VAT = 14\/100 $1300 = $182.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Please remember, these are approximate values and actual rates will depend on specific product categories and other factors. It&#8217;s advisable to consult a clearance agent or your forwarder to confirm these duties and taxes.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea000c68 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ea000c68\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f6992b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f6992b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>In calculating customs duties in Egypt for UK imports, the &#8216;customs value&#8217; of your shipment is the figure to which Egypt&#8217;s Customs Authority applies your goods&#8217; applicable tariff percentage.<strong> Suppose you&#8217;ve imported machinery valued at $5000 with a tariff rate of 20%, your duty payable is $1000 (5000 20%).<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>VAT (Value Added Tax) is computed separately. If your machinery has a VAT rate of 14%, and the sum of its customs value and duty is $6000, you&#8217;ll pay $840 for VAT (6000 14%).<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Occasionally, &#8216;anti-dumping&#8217; taxes are levied for goods imported below market price that may harm domestic industry. Including this tax in your total payable will depend on the nature of your goods. And some goods are required to pay excise duty.<\/p><br><p>For instance:<\/p><br><p><strong>1. A $750 textile shipment with 10% tariff rate will incur $75 in duty.<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>2. An $800 tech gadget shipment at 15% tariff, and 14% VAT on ($800 + $120) equals $128.8 VAT.<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>3. Consumables worth $1000 with a 10% tariff, 14% VAT on ($1000+$100), and an anti-dumping tax of $50, will total $159.4 VAT.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>As this process can be complex, DocShipper offers assistance with customs clearance, ensuring the correct calculations free of overcharge. <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> for a free quote within 24 hours.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f437ad40 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f437ad40\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebf49f6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebf49f6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Does DocShipper charge customs fees?<\/h4><br><p>Distinguishing between customs fees might seem complex, but let&#8217;s break it down.
