Egypt bans more than 800 foreign companies from importing goods

Egypt has blocked hundreds of foreign companies from exporting goods to the country. TASS clarified that in the Arab country they referred to the violation of registration rules by exporters. It is noted that the list included companies that supplied food, hygiene products, detergents and medicines to Egypt. There are also two Russian firms. They will be able to continue their work after receiving the necessary registration documents.

The Export and Import Control Department published a list of 820 companies, including two Russian ones. Makfa Public Corporation supplied products to the grain and oil industry under the Makfa brand (pasta, cereals and olive oil), T-Kosmetics LTD brought perfumery and cosmetic products.

The Egyptian Ministry of Industry and Trade noted that "the decision is not aimed at specific companies or goods from specific countries." Companies need to comply with the rules governing business registration. Suppliers must update or reissue documents within 30 days of their expiration date.

“Companies must confirm that they are a valid legal entity and apply quality systems to products, as well as provide updated quality certificates, trademarks and an industrial register,” the ministry explained.

The department added that as the documents are updated, firms will be excluded from the list. Recently, more than 120 enterprises have been able to provide updated documentation.

Earlier, The Secret said that the Russian Consulate General in Hurghada asked Russians who go on vacation to Egypt not to take cartridges, cartridge cases and souvenirs from them. If the border guards find these items on the tourist, he is threatened with detention, the diplomats warned. Egypt also changed the rules for entering the country in order to tighten control over those who arrive on vacation with dubious coronavirus tests.
