Ship Car To Giza

Car Shipping Giza

Giza is a busy metropolitan city situated on the banks of the River Nile in Egypt. It’s the second largest suburb in the entire world after Yokohama, Japan. Driving can become quite congested on the busy city streets, and having to hire a taxi to come and go daily can become very expensive in a short amount of time. Moving your own personal car to Giza not only makes driving a more pleasurable experience, but it can ease the expenditures from having to hire a daily car to travel where you need to go. You will need an experienced auto transport company who is able to ship internationally. You will need to provide the company with your identifying paperwork such as a picture ID, social security or Tax ID number, and all necessary vehicle paperwork. You will also most likely need to sign a Power of Attorney paper that will give the company access to transport your car overseas.

Once you have the auto transport company to take care of shipping your car, you will also need to be aware of the customs regulations for importing your car into Giza, Egypt. Some of the regulations are listed here:

If you are not originally from Giza

You will also need your Shipping Bills, the key to your car so customs can access it, and a letter that authorizes customs to check. Your car has to be imported within 12 months of purchase and your name must be on the car title and paperwork Duty fees and taxes will be due upon customs check for the car. Expats who have relocated to Giza for work with the Egyptian Government can have the duty fee waived. Note that if the fee is waived you will only be allowed to have the car in Giza for up to six months and will then have to export it back to the U.S. for at least six months.

If you are from Giza and are returning home

If you are from Giza and returning home you will need the same paperwork as listed for non-citizens of Giza. Your car title must also verify you own the car and you will have to have the title notarized by the Egyptian Consulate. Your passport will have to show that you have been back in Giza for six months or less.

If you are a Diplomat

Just as with citizens and foreign travelers to Giza, Diplomats will need to show their verifying paperwork as well as an Egyptian Diplomatic ID and Clearing Letter from the Egypt Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It will most likely be best to ship your car separate from any household goods that you may be having shipped as it can take longer for a car to clear customs than it takes for personal items.
