Egypt doesn’t impose any Tariffs on its Exports – Minister

There are neither taxes nor tariffs on any commodities exported by Egypt to other countries, the Egyptian Finance Ministry affirmed in a statement on Wednesday.

This comes following some media reports claiming a raise in tariffs on Egypt’s exports of potatoes, which the ministry referred as baseless.

The statement further said the taxes are only imposed on Egypt’s imports in accordance with the Egyptian tariff value.

The ministry- represented in the Customs Authority- ruled out imposing any potential taxes or tariffs on the Egyptian exports, since the country seeks to make their exports penetrate the global markets easier as pursuant to  a plan the Egyptian Finance Ministry has been taking for over two decades.
