Egypt: used machinery and the GOEIC COI
Used machines entering Egypt need age, hours and conformity documents aligned.
Key points
- Used machinery entering Egypt is checked on age, hours and safety devices alongside conformity documents, and declarations must match the nameplate.
- Egypt uses 220V/50Hz; inconsistent documents or a missing ACID cause port storage costs.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
