The new regs detail how the Customs Authority\u2019s new Advance Cargo Information (ACI) pre-registration system (also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nafeza.gov.eg\/en\">Nafeza<\/a>) will work. They also outline instructions for businesses importing goods at ports on accessing and using the platform to file and pay all types of shipping dues, as well as filing shipping documents and cargo data digitally ahead of arrival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The final draft also includes breaks for tourists and Egyptians returning from abroad, <\/strong>who will now be allowed to bring in EGP 10k worth of goods from abroad without customs duties, up from a previous limit of EGP 1.5k, according to the statement yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BACKGROUND-<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/99a6ca73-945a-43a8-9bb3-70e01e484a6c\">recently-approved law<\/a>, which aims to expedite customs clearance, expand the powers of customs clearance agents, and ratchet up penalties for customs evasion, has been met with pushback from exporters, shipping agencies and customs brokers since it came into effect late last year.

Shippers would also be allowed to move goods out of Egypt without submitting waybills on the spot and could instead hand over the documentation 48 hours after the goods leave the country.
