Import Cars from China to Egypt
Egypt is a market where we want to be upfront before anything else: Egypt applies some of the highest vehicle import duties in the region, well beyond what most other markets DriveSino serves charge — so the calculus on importing a used vehicle from China is genuinely different here than in neighboring North African markets. We'd rather explain that plainly than let a generic import guide understate it.
Contact DriveSino directly with your specific situation before assuming a particular cost structure applies — we'll give you our best current understanding, but Egyptian customs valuation and duty on vehicles is complex enough that a licensed Egyptian customs agent should confirm the specifics for your case.
Pourquoi Importer de Chine vers l’Égypte ?
- Be clear on duty first: Egypt's vehicle import duties are high and vary by engine size and vehicle age — this materially changes the total cost math compared to many other markets, and needs checking before you commit
- Real Chinese-brand demand exists: Chery, MG, Changan, and others do have genuine buyer interest in Egypt, and some Chinese manufacturers have local assembly partnerships that keep certain new models more accessible than a direct import would be — worth comparing against before importing a used unit
- Right-hand traffic standard: Egypt drives on the right, matching the left-hand-drive (LHD) configuration Chinese manufacturers produce as standard — so this isn't a driving-side issue, it's a cost one
- Talk to us before ordering: we'll help you understand realistic total landed cost for your specific vehicle before you commit

Egypt applies vehicle import duty that is high relative to most markets DriveSino serves, with the exact rate depending heavily on engine size and vehicle age — high enough that we're not going to publish a specific percentage here, as doing so would likely understate your real cost.

Documents Requis et Conformité
Fournis par DriveSino (Côté Export)
If your cost picture is confirmed workable, DriveSino provides standard export-side documentation:
- Certificate of Origin — Proves vehicle was manufactured in China
- Bill of Lading — Shipping document from the carrier
- Commercial Invoice — Transaction value and vehicle details
- Export Customs Declaration — Filed with Chinese customs

Egypt's import-side requirements (customs valuation, duty payment, and registration) are the real cost driver here — confirm those with a licensed customs agent before anything else.

Is it expensive to import a car from China to Egypt?
Egypt applies vehicle import duty that is high relative to most markets DriveSino serves, varying by engine size and vehicle age.

Sea transit from China to Egypt takes 19–28 days depending on port (Port Said, Alexandria, or Sokhna) — one of the faster routes DriveSino serves.
