Sea freight to and from Egypt
If you need to move cargo to or from Egypt, you already know that port selection, transit times, and customs control directly affect your margins. Between Alexandria, Damietta, and Port Said, capacity shifts and regulatory checks can slow a shipment by sea, and small documentation gaps can block container release. As a result, you must secure space, control costs, and align inland haulage with port operations to keep control of your supply chain.
In practice, this requires a partner who understands local port procedures and carrier negotiations, not just booking space. As a maritime freight forwarder in Egypt, DocShipper structures your sea freight and container transport flows with clear transit plans, cost anticipation, and compliant documentation, so your international maritime transport stays predictable and profitable.
Maritime containerization
You choose the right format for your cargo, FCL, LCL, or RoRo, whether you move full containers, share space to reduce cost, or ship rolling equipment with direct port handling.
Logistics coordination
You benefit from complete logistics coordination and maritime shipment tracking to and from Egypt, with one contact who aligns carriers, ports, and inland transport, so your international transport stays clear and under control at every step.
Transport documentation
You rely on us for full maritime documentation compliance in Egypt, from bills of lading to export and import filings, with local port knowledge and a detailed quotation delivered within 24 hours.
Tailor-made solutions
You receive tailor-made maritime transport solutions to and from Egypt, aligned with your sector constraints, cargo volumes, and delivery deadlines, supported by professional sea freight expertise and precise international logistics planning.
Air freight to and from Egypt
As an experienced air forwarder, we organize reliable air freight solutions to and from Egypt via Cairo International Airport and key regional hubs. Transport of goods by air is ideal for urgent industrial parts, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and high-value cargo requiring secure, fast shipment by plane. Our tailored air logistics services also cover sensitive and oversized parcel transport when speed is critical for your supply chain.
Air transport involves higher costs, weight and dimension limits, and strict Egyptian customs procedures, particularly for regulated imports. We manage these constraints efficiently and handle shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³.
Express freight
You can rely on our urgent air freight solutions to and from Egypt to meet tight production or delivery deadlines. We reduce transit times significantly, helping you keep your operations running without costly delays.
Special parcels
We manage your oversized and heavy air shipments to and from Egypt, handling weight, dimension, and airline compliance constraints so your cargo moves smoothly and securely.
Protecting your goods
Your fragile or high-value goods moving through Cairo are handled with specialized secure procedures. You benefit from reinforced packaging, careful airport coordination, and strict monitoring to ensure arrival in perfect condition.
Peace of mind
With our global air network, you avoid administrative and operational hurdles linked to Egypt’s import and export processes. We connect you confidently to worldwide markets while simplifying every step of your shipment.
Import and export customs clearance in Egypt
Importing or exporting goods to Egypt involves strict customs clearance procedures governed by the Egyptian Customs Authority. Traders must comply with the Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system, accurate HS classification, and detailed customs declarations submitted through the NAFEZA platform. Delays often arise from documentation discrepancies, valuation reviews, or unexpected customs inspections at ports such as Alexandria or Port Said. Miscalculations of customs duties and taxes can also lead to penalties or cargo holds.
As your experienced licensed customs broker in Egypt, we handle all customs formalities, from document verification and tariff calculation to direct coordination with port authorities. Our tailored customs clearance services ensure full customs compliance while reducing storage costs and transit times. With in-depth local customs expertise and proactive customs management, we secure efficient release of your goods for both import and export operations.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
