The Egyptian Customs Authority has announced a three-month exemption from the Advance Cargo Registration (ACI) system for goods bound for Gulf countries via Egyptian Red Sea ports.
This measure aims to facilitate trade and ensure the smooth flow of goods through the ports, amid the disturbance of the maritime traffic after Iran closed Hormuz Strait against the US and Israel vessels in the ongoing regional war.
The exemption applies only to goods arriving at the ports of Nuweiba, Ain Sokhna, and Safaga, with their final destination being one of the Gulf countries, according to a statement issued by the Authority.
