Gain Product Approval to Access the Egyptian Market
The Egypt Conformity Assessment Program is enforced by the General Organization for Import and Export Control (GOEIC). While these strict market access requirements are harmonized to international standards, importers must also deal with national deviations in the Arabic language, which can be difficult to translate accurately. Additionally, importing manufacturers and trademark owners of regulated products must be GOEIC registered, with their goods undergoing mandatory shipment inspections in order to clear customs. Failure to comply with these requirements can cause significant market access delays, financial penalties, or even result in the return of shipments.
GOEIC certification covers a wide scope of consumer products, including (but not limited to) electrical and electronic devices, textiles, footwear, leather and cosmetics. To achieve customs clearance, a Certificate of Inspection (CoI) must be issued by a notified body, such as TÜV SÜD.
Without GOEIC certification, regulated products cannot be legally imported into the Egyptian market. Having a product certified by a GOEIC notified body delivers you peace of mind that it fully complies with the country’s regulations and safety standards.
If you are planning to introduce new products to the Egyptian market, TÜV SÜD will help you to identify if they fall under the mandatory certification requirements. If they do, we can support you with a technical pre-evaluation of the products’ suitability for GOEIC certification, ensuring that they do not fail official compliance inspections.
