Egypt: Egypt Reintroduces Government Pre shipment Inspections for Grain Imports

Egypt’s mandatory plant quarantine pre-shipment inspections of grains at port-of-loading are back. Pre-shipment inspections return due to invalidation of Prime Ministerial Decree No. 2992/2016. Prime Ministerial Decree No. 2992/2016 (January 1, 2017) disallowed government teams to travel for inspections at the port of loading and instead gave the General Organization for Export & Import Control (GOEIC) the responsibility to coordinate and administer inspections for grain imports. Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Decree No. 562/2019 reestablishes the Central Plant Quarantine Authority (CAPQ) as the agency responsible for grains and oilseeds inspections. The General Organization for Supply Commodities now requires pre-shipment inspections by Egyptian officials at port-of-loading, in accordance with CAPQ requirements.
