The decision coincides with the mandatory implementation of
the Advanced Cargo Information system (ACI), starting tomorrow, Thursday,
January 1, 2026. The move follows a presentation submitted by Ahmed Amawi, Head
of the Egyptian Customs Authority.
Kouchouk affirmed the commitment to working with business
community partners with a high degree of flexibility and simplification, while
strengthening governance. He explained that the ACI system supports governance
in the Egyptian market and ensures the entry of high quality goods that comply
with specifications. He noted that the system helps deepen competition in favor
of citizens and the national industry.
