Trade Pain Points and Possibilities

Importers commonly face delays due to required product registrations, Arabic-language compliance labelling, and mandatory use of Egypt's National Single Window for Trade Facilitation (Nafeza). The lack of centralised updates and inconsistent duty enforcement adds further complexity.

Our Import Solution

IBSINT streamlines your import process with localised expertise, Arabic document preparation, and real-time updates through the Nafeza system. We act as your IOR in Egypt, ensuring full legal compliance, faster customs clearance, and transparent fee structures. From tax management to last-mile delivery, we handle it all.

About Egypt

Egypt serves as a major commercial hub in North Africa, connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Its position on the Suez Canal offers global strategic importance for trade. While the Egyptian market presents growth opportunities, regulatory red tape often creates bottlenecks. IBSINT enables businesses to overcome these barriers and tap into Egypt's vast consumer and industrial base.
