Used construction machinery & parts from the USA · Egypt
Import Heavy Equipment from the USA to Egypt — We Don't Sell, We Import
Excavators, loaders and graders ship to Alexandria on flat racks, by RoRo or in containers, and the parts to keep them running consolidate alongside. We import used US construction machinery and equipment parts to Egypt — we sell nothing and hold no stock. Every unit is verified at origin, and we clear it through Egyptian customs rather than leaving it at the port.
- Excavators, loaders, graders and dozers sourced across the US network
- Construction and agricultural equipment parts sourced by part number
- Origin verification: hours, undercarriage, completeness and true measurements
- GOEIC conformity and Nafeza filing coordinated before arrival
- One English and Arabic WhatsApp thread across the whole move
Meridian covers sourcing, origin verification, export paperwork and the ocean leg. The customs entry, classification, duty and VAT belong to your licensed Egyptian broker.

Process
How we handle the shipment
Heavy equipment is planned from the tape measure out. We confirm the machine, verify it at origin, arrange conformity, then match it to flat rack, RoRo or container space for the Alexandria sailing.
1
Send us the machine or the part numbers
A listing or spec sheet with weight and dimensions, or the part numbers you need. Excavator, loader, grader or a pallet of parts: the specifics drive the plan.
2
We verify it at origin
Condition, hours, undercarriage wear and completeness are checked on the ground before any money moves. Oversize units are measured for the load plan at the same visit.
3
Conformity, load format and freight
GOEIC conformity is arranged and the shipment pre-registers through Nafeza/ACID. Flat rack, RoRo or container is chosen by the machine's true weight and dimensions; parts consolidate into shared space.
4
Cleared at Alexandria
A licensed Egyptian broker files the entry and the cargo comes out of Alexandria cleared. Port drop-off is not the end of our job; clearance is.
Scope
What the quote covers and what it doesn't
We separate the international leg we control from the local costs and formalities your despachante confirms.
Quote
What we need to prepare a useful quote
Measurements and part numbers first: with the true weight, dimensions or exact references we can price the Alexandria leg without padding for the unknown.
- Listing link or spec sheet, or the exact part numbers required
- Weight and dimensions (length, width, height), if known
- Engine hours and condition, if known
- Destination in Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria, Suez or other) and target timing
- Whether an Egyptian broker is already engaged on your side
- Intended use (site work, fleet maintenance, resale) so we can advise honestly

Share the machine and the destination; we send back the scope of the international leg in writing.
Local compliance
Duty, VAT and conformity on the Egyptian side
Meridian's scope ends where Egypt's tariff begins. A licensed Egyptian customs broker confirms the exact duty line, VAT and used-goods admissibility for your specific machine or parts against the current Egyptian Customs Authority tariff before you commit funds. A reduced VAT rate can apply to qualifying production equipment. Used machinery is subject to GOEIC conformity assessment, and every shipment pre-registers through the Nafeza/ACID single-window.
Meridian has coordinated more than 1,000 exports to more than 40 countries.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask us most before they ship.
No. We import machines and parts we don't own: you choose the unit or send the part numbers, we verify at origin, ship to Alexandria and clear Egyptian customs through a licensed broker.
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.
By the machine's true weight and dimensions and whether it self-propels or needs dismantling. That's why we ask for measurements before quoting: load format is most of the freight price. Parts consolidate into shared container space.
It depends on classification; a reduced VAT rate can apply to qualifying production equipment. The figures for your unit come from your Egyptian broker per shipment, not from a website.
We clear. A licensed broker files the entry and the machine is released from Alexandria cleared. Our near-perfect first-time clearance record exists because clearance is the job, not an add-on.
