Alexandria / Port Said
Egypt runs a tight 3-year age window on used vehicle imports, which is the first thing every Cairo or Alexandria-based buyer needs to confirm before sourcing โ it rules out a large share of the used inventory available elsewhere.
Import rules. Vehicles must be no older than 3 years at the point of import, and duty plus taxes commonly exceed 40% of declared value. Because of the tight age window, we typically source near-new demonstrator or low-mileage units for Egypt rather than higher-mileage stock.
Ports & logistics. Alexandria and Port Said both handle our Egypt-bound container shipments; we route based on your onward distribution city. Full export documentation is prepared to match Egyptian customs requirements for the 3-year rule.
What sells. BYD Seal and Atto 3 (EV/newer stock fits the age window naturally) and Chery Tiggo8 Pro are the strongest performers with Egyptian dealers right now.
