Frequently Asked Questions

Incoterms, or “International Commercial Terms,” are globally recognized trade rules established by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). These terms define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers for the transportation of goods in international trade, covering costs, risks, and logistics. First introduced in 1936, Incoterms are updated regularly, with the most recent version being Incoterms 2020. They ensure clarity in trade agreements, reducing the likelihood of disputes and streamlining shipping operations.

Here are the 11 current Incoterms divided into two categories:

Rules for Any Mode of Transport:

  1. EXW (Ex Works): Buyer assumes all risks and costs from the seller’s premises onward.
  2. FCA (Free Carrier): Seller delivers goods to a location chosen by the buyer, such as a carrier or warehouse.
  3. CPT (Carriage Paid To): Seller pays for transport to a destination, but the buyer assumes risk after delivery to the carrier.
  4. CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To): Similar to CPT, but the seller also covers insurance up to the delivery location.
  5. DAP (Delivered at Place): Seller delivers goods to a named destination; buyer handles import duties.
  6. DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded): Seller delivers and unloads goods at the destination; buyer covers import duties.
  7. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Seller covers all costs, including import duties, to deliver goods to the buyer.

Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport Only:

  1. FAS (Free Alongside Ship): Seller delivers goods alongside the vessel; the buyer assumes costs and risks from there.
  2. FOB (Free on Board): Seller delivers goods onto the ship; the buyer assumes risks once goods are loaded.
  3. CFR (Cost and Freight): Seller covers the cost and freight to the port of destination; buyer assumes risks at the port of departure.
  4. CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): Similar to CFR, but the seller also covers insurance to the destination port.

Understanding and applying the correct Incoterms is essential for defining responsibilities and minimizing confusion in international trade agreements.

What is an HS Code?
An HS Code (Harmonized System Code) is a standardized numerical classification system for traded goods. It was developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to facilitate international trade by creating a universal language for product classification.

Structure of an HS Code
The HS Code typically consists of 6 digits, divided into sections that describe the product:

  • First 2 digits: Identify the product’s chapter (e.g., textiles, machinery).
  • Next 2 digits: Define the product heading within the chapter.
  • Final 2 digits: Specify the subheading, providing more detail about the product.
    Some countries extend the code to 8 or 10 digits for more specific classification.

Who Uses HS Codes?

  • Customs Authorities: To determine duties and taxes.
  • Importers and Exporters: To declare goods accurately during shipping.
  • Trade Regulators: To monitor trade compliance and apply trade policies.

Why Are HS Codes Important?
Accurate HS Code classification is crucial to:

  • Ensure compliance with customs regulations.
  • Avoid shipment delays or penalties.
  • Determine applicable tariffs and taxes.

This universal system simplifies global trade, ensuring smooth customs clearance and standardized reporting across borders.

To export or import shipments to and from Egypt, specific documents must be prepared to comply with customs regulations and ensure smooth trade operations. Here is a list of essential documents:

  1. Commercial Invoice: Details the goods, their value, and the terms of sale.
  2. Packing List: Describes the packaging, quantity, and weight of the goods.
  3. Bill of Lading (BOL): Serves as proof of shipment and outlines transport terms for sea freight.
  4. Airway Bill (AWB): Used for air shipments, providing shipping details and carrier information.
  5. Certificate of Origin (COO): Certifies the origin of the goods, often required for preferential trade agreements.
  6. EUR1 Certificate: Necessary for goods manufactured in Europe to claim preferential tariff rates under trade agreements.
  7. Proforma Invoice: Preliminary document stating the estimated value and details of goods before the final invoice.
  8. Customs Declaration Form: Declares goods to customs for clearance.
  9. Import or Export License: May be required for regulated goods.
  10. Insurance Certificate: Covers the goods during transit.

Accurate and complete documentation is critical to avoid delays, fines, or disputes at customs. Ensure all documents meet the regulatory standards and requirements specific to the nature of the goods being transported.

The Single Window System (Nafeza) is an electronic platform introduced by the Egyptian government to streamline and simplify trade processes. It serves as a centralized system for managing and submitting all trade-related documents and procedures.

How it works:

  1. Electronic Submission: Importers and exporters can upload all required documentation, such as customs declarations, invoices, and permits, onto the Nafeza portal.
  2. Integration: The system integrates with various governmental and regulatory bodies, reducing the need for manual paperwork and in-person visits.
  3. Automated Processes: Customs inspections, duty calculations, and risk assessments are handled more efficiently through automation.
  4. Real-Time Tracking: Users can track the status of their shipments in real time, ensuring greater transparency.

Nafeza improves trade efficiency, reduces delays, and enhances compliance by providing a single access point for all import and export procedure
