Egypt: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Export Certificate Report

In October 1, 2021, Egypt launched the Advanced Clearance Information system (ACI). Traders must register within the designated platforms (CargoX for exporters and ACI for importers). The ID number developed through the upload of the shipment’s documents on the platform called ACID and is required on all shipment documents. However, control agencies such as plant quarantine, veterinary quarantine and food safety authority, agreed not to include the ACID on the phytosanitary/ sanitary and health certificates. In December 1, 2021, Egypt published a WTO technical barrier to trade (TBT) notification to notify the expansion of products requiring halal certificates. The products notified included milk and dairy products, along with meat, poultry, and their products. There is no clear guidance or any decision regarding the labelling of the current or newly added products.
