Are you a machinery dealer in Egypt?

No. We're the exporter: you choose the machine or the parts, we source them in the USA and ship to Alexandria; you are the importer, and your licensed Egyptian broker clears them. We keep no stock and sell nothing locally.

Do you file the Nafeza/ACID declaration?

No. You, the importer, declare the shipment in Nafeza and receive the ACID before it loads; we prepare the export documentation with that ACID on it. Used machinery imported into Egypt is subject to GOEIC conformity inspection; that step is your broker's too, and our export documentation gives the entry complete paperwork to start from.

Can you source replacement parts, not just whole machines?

Yes. Sourcing construction and agricultural equipment parts across the US dealer, aftermarket and salvage network — matched by part number — is a core service, shipped alongside or ahead of machine orders.

Who confirms Egyptian import duty and VAT?

A licensed Egyptian customs broker confirms the exact duty line and VAT for your specific machine or parts against the current Egyptian Customs Authority tariff per shipment. A reduced VAT rate can apply to production equipment; used-goods admissibility is broker-checked, never assumed.

Shipping Destinations

Ship Machinery to Egypt

Meridian Freight exports used construction and agricultural machinery — and hard-to-find replacement parts — from the USA and Canada to Alexandria, Egypt's main Mediterranean gateway. One company handles sourcing, origin inspection, export documents that carry your ACID, and the ocean freight; you file the ACID in Nafeza, and your licensed Egyptian broker takes the machine through GOEIC and the customs entry. We're the exporter, not a dealer, and we hold no stock in Egypt.

What You Need to Know

Egypt at a glance: cargo lands at Alexandria and moves inland from there; current carrier rates show 30-44 days from US ports and 30-50 days by 40HC from the Chicago rail ramp, with the exact schedule confirmed at booking; machines travel in containers, on flat racks or on open tops, and parts consolidate into shared containers. Compliance in brief: imports pre-register through the Nafeza/ACID single-window and used machinery is subject to GOEIC conformity inspection, while the Egyptian Customs Authority assesses duty and VAT (a reduced VAT rate can apply to production equipment) — the per-shipment detail, confirmed by a licensed Egyptian broker, sits on our Egypt heavy-equipment and farm-tractor import pages.
