We offer different shipping modes based on speed, budget, and shipment size.

Pros: fast transit, reliable schedules

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:

  • Clear packing list with used household items described properly
  • Matching names and addresses across documents
  • Avoiding restricted/prohibited goods
  • Proper valuation where required
  • 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.
