Buyer guide
Buying from Egypt for Germany
German buyers value consistency and paperwork done right. Containers from Alexandria reach Hamburg in about nine days. Retail programmes for potatoes, onions and citrus run through the winter, while spinners in the south buy Egyptian long-staple cotton and yarn all year. Expect requests for GLOBALG.A.P., QS or organic certificates, and plan pre-shipment inspection in Egypt.
