Disclaimer: This report was prepared by the Foreign Agricultural Service in Cairo for U.S. exporters of food and agricultural products, as well as U.S. regulatory agencies. While care was taken in the preparation of this report, information provided may not be completely accurate due to either recent policy changes or because clear and consistent information about some policies is unavailable. It is strongly recommended that U.S. exporters verify all Egyptian import requirements with their foreign customers prior to the shipment of goods.
