ACI regulations require documents on each cargo to be uploaded before shipment \u2014 just like the API (or Advance Passenger Information) flag when you register to fly as a passenger. Failure to provide ACI data can result in goods being barred from entry and see them re-exported at the importer's expense. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BACKGROUND- <\/strong>Egypt began applying ACI on sea freight in 2021 as it accounts for a vast majority of Egypt\u2019s trade traffic, Amawi said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What to watch out for-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The real test isn't the cost, but speed.<\/strong> Air freight exists because it is time-sensitive. Currently, about 50% of air cargo clears Egyptian customs in under a day, while the other half can languish for several days, head of the Egyptian Customs Authority Ahmad Amawi told EnterpriseAM in an interview <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/logistics\/en\/news\/story\/ad3f2263-9fc5-4b61-ab90-94671eb76f87\/customs-authority-head%253cmark%253e-ahmad-amawi%253c%2Fmark%253e-on-new-customs-facilities-and-streamlining-procedures\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">last month<\/a>. By moving the paperwork to the pre-shipment phase, the government hopes it can push that 50% figure much higher. For operators in pharma or high-tech components, the benefit isn't in just saving USD 80 per shipment \u2014 it's the potential to save time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How quickly air shippers will be able to embrace the ACI system will be key for a <\/strong><strong>successful rollout<\/strong> \u2014 about 20% of air cargo shippers will be using the system for the first time (the remaining 80% are already active in maritime shipping and are well-acquainted with the system).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO- Keep an eye on the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) whitelist<\/strong>, which Amawi recently told us has grown to 700+ companies. Expect the government to lean on these trusted traders to lead the ACI rollout for air freight, potentially offering even faster clearances for those who master the digital workflow

Under the decree issued by authority chair Osama Rabie, Fathy Abdel Bary remains Director of Planning, Research, and Studies \u2014 a role that has become critical for the SCA\u2019s marketing policies and incentives aimed at luring shipping lines to make their comeback to the waterway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The new board sees a few faces hold onto their roles, some shuffled around, and a few <\/strong><strong>join it<\/strong>, including Abdelrahman Ramadan, who was named Acting Director of the Transit Department, where he will help manage the return of mega-vessels to the waterway. Meanwhile, Abdelhakim Bedawy is now Director of Affiliated Companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> This isn't just an administrative shuffle; it\u2019s a recovery taskforce. By keeping the law-related and planning heads in place while switching around the operational and engineering leads, Rabie is betting on a mix of policy continuity and operational efficiency to woo back the global trade that has been diverted around the Cape of Good Hope.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/agility\/\">Agility<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/egypt\/\">Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/kuwait\/\">Kuwait<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/moves\/\">MOVES<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/suez-canal-authority\/\">Suez Canal Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"91547 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"91547\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/01\/05\/91547\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-91547\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-91547 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ak-ships.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/11\/87.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"91548\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"91548\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Also on Our Radar<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/01\/05\/a-new-fresh-zone-in-egypts-gargoub-2\/\">\r\n                            Egypt\u2019s cabinet greenlights development of a new zone in Matrouh\u2019s Gargoub                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/01\/05\/a-new-fresh-zone-in-egypts-gargoub-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
