20ft Container & 40ft Container Household Goods Shipping Service
If you’re moving a home, containers are usually the best way.
Container sizes for Egypt moves
| Container | Suitable For | Approx Capacity (CBM) |
| 20ft (FCL) | 1–2 bedroom home | ~28–33 CBM |
| 40ft (FCL) | 3–5 bedroom home | ~58–68 CBM |
FCL means your items are loaded into a dedicated container. It’s more secure and simpler for scheduling.
Groupage Cargo Shipping From/To Egypt (LCL)
Groupage (LCL) means your items share container space with other shipments. It’s popular for smaller moves.
Best when:
- You have 5–15 cartons or a partial home setup
- You want a lower cost than full container
- You can accept slightly flexible sailing schedules
Tip: LCL is priced per CBM, so smart packing and accurate volume estimates matter.
Air & Sea Routes for Shipping From/To Egypt
Your shipment to/from Egypt usually moves through major hubs depending on origin.
Sea routes (common)
- Origin port → Port Said / Alexandria / Damietta / Ain Sokhna → delivery city
Air routes (common)
- Origin airport → Cairo International Airport (CAI) or other Egyptian airports → final delivery
Sea Freight vs Air Freight for Egypt
Here’s a simple comparison to help you choose:
| Factor | Sea Freight | Air Freight |
| Speed | Slower | Fast |
| Cost | Lower for large volume | Higher per kg |
| Best for | Furniture, household goods | Urgent personal effects |
| Limits | Large shipments okay | Size/weight restrictions |
| Risk control | Good with proper packing | Good but strict rules |
If you’re moving a full house, sea freight is usually the smarter choice. If you need essentials quickly, air freight works great.
Customs Clearance in Egypt
Customs clearance in Egypt depends on shipment type (personal effects vs commercial), document accuracy, and item category.
What helps clearance go smoother:

- Being available for customs questions if needed
Movers BS guides you through the common checkpoints so your shipment doesn’t get stuck for avoidable reasons.
