:: CUSTOMS DUTIES In February 1994, Egypt implemented the Harmonized System (HS) that replaced the previously used CCCN. Since 1991, under its economic reform program developed, the Government has reduced its tariff rates to a maximum rate of 40%, with a few exceptions such as cars with engines larger than 1300CC, alcoholic beverages and certain luxury items. There is a surcharge of 2% for commodities subject to customs duties between 5-30% and 3% for those subject to custom duties over 30%. When importing into Egypt , the custom duties are often high due to hidden costs, which increase the effective rates. Sales tax will also apply. Any company established under the Investment Law may freely import items necessary for its business, at a reduced customs duty rate of 5%, but to receive the benefit of this provision a company must have the imports pre-approved by GAFI (General Authority for Investment and Free Zones).
