How to Import Handbags from China to Egypt
Published: August 23, 2026 | 8 min read
Egypt has high import duties (20-40% for handbags depending on material) and requires the Nafeza/ACID pre-shipment registration system for every commercial import. GOEIC registration is needed for the importer as a foreign company. The Egyptian pound devaluation in 2024-2026 means USD-priced Chinese bags are 30-50% more expensive in local terms, narrowing margins for Egyptian buyers.
