由 lltx1822 Sea Shipping to Egypt: Precautions for Suez Canal Toll and Cargo Inspection
When a ship passes through the Suez Canal, it is required to pay tolls in accordance with the regulations of the Suez Canal Authority. The calculation of tolls is usually based on factors such as the tonnage, type of the ship and the goods carried. Shipping companies should declare ship and cargo information to the Suez Canal Authority in advance, accurately calculate the tolls, and pay them on time to avoid affecting the ship’s passage due to cost issues. Egyptian Customs has a high inspection rate for imported goods, especially for electronic products, luxury goods, mechanical equipment and other goods, the inspection is more stringent. After the goods arrive at the port, the customs may conduct on – site inspection on the quantity, quality, specification of the goods, etc. If problems are found, it may require the owner to provide supplementary documents or conduct further testing. Shippers should ensure that the goods information is consistent with the declaration and provide complete and effective documents to improve customs clearance efficiency.
