The monthly import value in Egypt stood at roughly 6.28 billion U.S. dollars in November 2023, which illustrated a decline in the value of imports by approximately 9.85 percent from November 2022. In addition, the highest share of imports was that of non-petroleum products, with close to 87.62 percent of imports attributed to it. Furthermore, as of the same month, crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas covered 0.03, 10.67, and 1.67 percent of the total imports, respectively. With non-petroleum products dominating Egyptian imports, its importance towards the total can be noticed, as they both follow more or less the same trend. It can also be deduced that both exports and imports relatively follow the same trend, with both non-petroleum exports and imports accounting for the majority of the total exports and imports.

"Temporary admission system" reflects the Customs operations through which some goods, that are within the Customs territory, can with limitation be partially or totally relieved from import taxes and duties payments.
"General trade system" is in place when the economic territory along with its statistical territory coincide. This reflects that imports are all goods going into an economic territory, while exports are all goods going out of an economic territory of a compiling country.
