Tutorial for customer

International shipping has been a part of everyday life for a long time. When shipping to Egypt from the US, it is vital to choose a reliable partner who will make the process transparent and straightforward.

The Meest service offers everything you need to ensure that the transportation of your goods to Egypt is not only convenient but also safe. You don't need to delve into complex rules, such as registration, logistics, and customs tips — all this is taken care of by Meest specialists.

How Meest Makes Shipping to Egypt Hassle-Free

It is easy to arrange shipping from the US to Egypt through Meest. On the website, you choose the delivery method, indicate the weight and value of the parcel, and the system calculates the cost. Everything is transparent, with no hidden fees.

Meest accompanies the client at every stage, from registration to final delivery. If you have any questions, you can always get help via chat or by phone.

What to Know About Customs When Shipping to Egypt

The Egyptian customs regulations are the first thing you should familiarize yourself with. They will help you determine what goods you cannot send, what documents you need, and provide other helpful information.

With Meest, you don't have to figure out every little detail. However, it is essential to understand the basics so that you can prepare in advance and avoid any trouble.

Necessary Documents for Smooth Customs Clearance

To ensure your package passes through border control without issues, the necessary documents must be completed. The standard package comprises:

• commercial or border control invoice describing the contents and indicating the value;
• packing list with details on the size, weight, and number of items;
• passport information of the recipient and sender;
• additional documents may be required if the package contains restricted goods (if necessary).

These documents can be prepared with Meest's help. This is especially convenient for those who are shipping to Egypt from the USA for the first time.

Duties, Taxes, and Restrictions for Egypt Deliveries

When posting a box, it is essential to understand which items are subject to duty and taxes. Egypt applies border control duties depending on the category of goods, their value, and their destination. If you are sending personal items, the amount may be small. However, if it is a commercial consignment, be prepared for additional fees.

Some goods cannot be imported at all. The prohibited list includes, for example, weapons, narcotics, and some medical products. Restricted goods, such as electronics or food, require additional documents. Meest will help you check the current requirements — this can be done in your account.

Tips for Avoiding Delays at Customs

To avoid problems, follow these simple recommendations:

• indicate the real value of the goods — do not try to understate the cost;
• avoid vague descriptions — indicate what exactly you are sending;
• do not forward prohibited or restricted goods without the necessary documents;
• check all forms before posting — even a small error can cause a delay;
• ask for help from Meest specialists if you have any doubts or misunderstandings.

This way, you will avoid delays at the border and save both time and money.

Packing Your Parcel for Egypt: Tips and Best Practices

Quality packaging is crucial for safely sending a parcel to Egypt. Meest offers both ready-made packaging solutions and recommendations for self-preparation. The basic rules are as follows:

• use strong boxes that are suitable in weight and size;
• all items inside must be well secured;
• fragile goods must be wrapped in protective materials;
• a copy of the invoice should be included in the box;
• outside the package should indicate the sender and recipient addresses.

A well-packed parcel is processed more efficiently, is less likely to be damaged during transportation, and is easier to clear at border control. This affects not only the speed but also the final cost — damaged goods lose value, and you risk losing both money and the recipient's trust.
