Freight & Customs
Perishables need a shipping plan built around the product. We coordinate transport, customs arrangements and paperwork around your product and destination.
Each mode suits different products, volumes and timings. We help you choose, then plan packing and documents around it.
Temperature-controlled (reefer) containers for suitable fruit, vegetable and frozen programmes, shipped from Egyptian ports where available.
Air transport for suitable time-sensitive, perishable shipments such as fresh strawberries, mangoes or stone fruit.
Regional overland transport where road routes are practical for the destination.
Door-to-door delivery can be arranged where available. Transit times, costs and availability are quoted per enquiry; we do not publish fixed figures.
We coordinate export clearance in Egypt and the paperwork your importer needs. The exact set depends on the product and the destination, and not every document applies to every shipment.
We confirm the document list with you before loading. Please also check requirements with your customs authority, as rules differ by country and can change.
