Documents Needed to Ship from the UAE to Egypt

To ship a parcel from the UAE to Egypt you need the item details for customs (description, HS code, country of manufacture and value) and the recipient’s full name, Egyptian mobile number and national ID number, which customs and the carrier usually ask for at clearance. Commercial goods also need a commercial invoice. Furniture and appliances can go on our land line to Egypt instead of air.
