What does custom preforms cost in Egypt?

Price depends on the size, grade, quantity and packing of the custom preforms you need, so we quote per enquiry in USD, which your bank converts to Egyptian pound. Mixed-product containers usually lower the landed cost per item.

What import rules apply to custom preforms in Egypt?

Customs duty plus VAT; ACI pre-registration required. Shipments need ACI pre-registration on the Nafeza platform; some products also need GOEIC factory registration. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Egypt?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Egypt, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Egypt?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
