What are the common customs import regulations in Egypt?

Current importing regulations require that every component of a product be inspected, regardless of the compliance history of the product, country of origin, exporter, shipper, or importer. No import can be sold in Egypt without first proving that it conforms to Egyptian standards if it is on the mandatory list. If there are no Egyptian standards that suit the imported product, then it must be defined using the standards of one of the international organizations that Egypt is affiliated with; e.g. ISO, IEC, and Codex Alimentarius.
