Once the ACI system goes live, unregistered cargo will be denied entry to the country through maritime ports, states Maait
The delay will allow importers and their agents to go through the system’s “complex” registration procedures before it becomes fully mandatory
Importers and their agents will be able to pay 30% of dues in advance for their cargo before its arrival to Egyptian ports as part of efforts to speed up customs procedures
Despite a request by Beshay’s division in May for an extension, importers must register on the platform by the 1st of July
Maait stated that it will ban the entry of unregistered cargo starting July in its move to develop Egypt into a more modern and global logical zone
