Household Goods Shipping
Our international residential movers handle anything from a partial consignment to a full household, with packing in the US and delivery across Egypt.
Moving to Egypt from the USA
Relocating from the USA to Egypt involves a long transport route and a documentation-heavy clearance process. We arrange collection and packing nationwide, coordinate Egyptian customs requirements, and deliver to Cairo, Alexandria or your final destination.

Your Egypt Move, Planned to the Last Document
Egyptian household shipments require careful documentation and pre-arrival coordination, so the move should be planned before the cargo leaves the US. We have handled international relocations since 1948. As your overseas moving company, we coordinate packing, export documentation, sea or air freight, Egyptian clearance and final delivery.
Whether you are sending a compact shipment or a full household, one coordinator oversees the move from US collection through Egyptian delivery. Furniture, appliances, artwork and fragile items are prepared for international transit, with destination partners supporting clearance and handover. As international movers in the USA, we adapt our international relocation services to the shipment size and destination.

Everything your move needs
Our Egypt Moving Services
Egypt moves require tight coordination between packing, transport, documentation and clearance. As an international shipping company, we bring those pieces together under one service plan rather than treating them as separate handoffs.
Vehicle Shipping
Cars are subject to separate Egyptian import rules. Our international car shipping services coordinate vehicle-specific documentation independently from the household-goods shipment.
Corporate Relocation
Business transfers into Cairo and Alexandria can be planned around employment dates, housing readiness and door-to-door international relocation services.
Storage
Storage options in the US or Egypt can hold belongings while clearance documents, accommodation or delivery timing are finalized.
Packing
Our international packing and shipping services provide complete or fragile-only preparation using materials suited to a long ocean or air journey.
Crating
Custom cases protect art, glass, instruments and other delicate pieces, supported by fine art shipping services for higher-value items.
From home to destination
How Your Move to Egypt Works
A shipment to Egypt is easier to control when pre-registration, packing and customs documentation are planned in the right order. We use six stages to keep responsibilities clear.
-
Establish the Shipment
Provide your US origin, Egyptian destination and approximate volume.
-
Walk Through the Move
We survey the household virtually or in person, size the shipment and flag artwork, fragile items or unusual pieces.
-
Confirm Services and Timing
We finalize the protection, service scope and planned dates.
-
Build the Export Load
The crew wraps, itemizes and secures your belongings for the long international leg from the US.
-
Pre-Register and Transport
Required advance cargo information is aligned before dispatch, then the shipment moves toward Egyptian clearance.
-
Deliver at Destination
We complete delivery to your Egyptian address and unpack according to the selected plan.
Flexible shipping choices
Choose the Right Shipping Method
The appropriate transport method depends on shipment size, budget and urgency. We explain the cost-versus-speed trade-off before you commit to sea or air.
Best value for a whole house
Ocean Freight
A private full-container-load (FCL) can be a cost-effective solution for a larger household when the timeline allows.
Smaller moves
Shared Container
For a part-load, less-than-container-load international shipping combines your goods with other cargo so you pay for allocated space rather than an entire container.
Fastest option
Air Freight
Designed for compact, high-priority shipments that need to arrive well before an ocean load.
Prepare with confidence
Your Egypt Shipping Checklist
Egypt’s clearance process places a premium on correct documentation and advance preparation. Complete the following items before the shipment is packed and dispatched.
-
Type the inventory
A detailed, valued list in English is essential, since Egyptian customs will not accept a handwritten one.
-
Read the Egyptian rules
Household goods are broadly dutiable in Egypt, with limited relief; start with the Egyptian Customs Authority for the current position.
-
Handle pre-registration
Sea shipments need an ACID number before dispatch through the Nafeza single-window system, which we will align with you.
-
Set appropriate coverage
Choose protection based on the replacement value and characteristics of the goods being shipped.
-
Coordinate your arrival and clearance timing
Because consignee presence can be relevant to clearance, align travel and shipment dates early.
Plan your inventory
What Counts as Household Goods?
Household goods are the furniture, appliances and personal effects used in normal domestic life. As an international shipping company serving relocations, we move items such as cookware, linen, clothing, books, decor, antiques, artwork and household furnishings. Commercial shipments are outside this service, so the consignment remains focused on personal-use goods.
Common household shipments include
Before the boxes are sealed
Egypt applies duties and VAT to household goods.
- Relief is limited; for example, temporary admission for some expatriates under an employer guarantee.
- The Egyptian Customs Authority sets out the current rules, and we build the file with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does shipping to Egypt cost?
Cost depends on shipment volume, US origin, Egyptian destination and whether you use sea or air. Instead of applying a standard figure, we price the actual route and service level. Request a free international moving quote for a detailed estimate.
What is the transit time to Egypt?
Transit time varies by origin, destination and mode of transport. Air is typically faster, while sea freight requires a longer shipping and clearance window. We provide a practical estimate when the move is booked.
Are household goods duty-free in Egypt?
Broadly no. Egypt applies duties and VAT to household goods, with limited relief such as temporary admission for some expatriates under an employer guarantee. We tell you what to expect for your situation.
What is the ACID number?
It is an advance cargo identification issued through Egypt’s Nafeza single-window system, needed before a sea shipment leaves. We align the pre-registration with you so nothing is blocked at the port.
Can you move a car to Egypt?
Vehicles have their own rules in Egypt and travel separately. Our international car shipping services prepare the documents and confirm the requirements before shipping.
Which US cities do you collect from?
We arrange pickup nationwide. As international movers in the USA, we collect from New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and other locations, then route the shipment by sea or air.
Is there a free quote?
Yes. Send the departure city, Egyptian destination and a rough inventory. We will price the route and return an international moving quote that reflects the expected freight and clearance sequence.
