Egypt: FAIRS Export Certificate Report Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   EG2023-0017

The Egyptian Government no longer requires the authentication of Certificates of Origin from the Egyptian Embassy; however, authentication of animal health certificates is still required. On June 16, 2023, the Government of Egypt (GOE) issued a WTO/TBT addendum extending the requirement for halal certification of imported milk and dairy products until October 1, 2023. In March 2023, Animal and Plant Health Service changed VS-form 16-4 form for animal products exported to Egypt. The revised form will allow for enhanced flexibility moving forward.
