Regulations on the Importation of Cigars in Egypt
In Egypt, imported tobacco products are subject to excise duty and must comply with local health labeling standards. These often include mandatory health warnings on packaging and adherence to import documentation requirements.
That said, duties and taxes are only applied when Egyptian customs demands them for parcel release. There is no automatic pre-payment unless declared in advance. At Mr Cigar Shop, we do everything possible to minimize unexpected charges, always respecting the legal framework.
Our shipping method for safe shipping to Egypt
We combine secure packaging with reliable international couriers to guarantee that your cigars reach you quickly and in perfect condition. Fast, discreet, and precise delivery is the hallmark of our service to Egypt.
How much does it cost to ship cigars to Egypt?
Shipping costs are calculated based on parcel weight, origin, and courier service. At Mr Cigar Shop, we offer free shipping on orders over €500 (approximately EGP 26.000 ). For smaller orders, we apply a flat shipping fee of €50 (approximately EGP 2.600).
Can a cigar shipment be held by Egyptian customs?
Yes, there is always a chance. While many shipments pass without issue, customs authorities in Egypt may occasionally inspect, delay, or request additional paperwork. The likelihood increases for shipments that appear high-value or are missing clear invoices.
If your cigars are held, you will generally be asked to pay the relevant duties or taxes before release. We try to reduce these risks, but if a hold occurs, our team is available to guide and support you throughout the process.
Other countries of Africa which we ship online
Beyond Egypt, we deliver premium cigars across the African continent, including destinations such as Morocco, Kenya, South Africa… Each shipment respects local import rules, ensuring smooth delivery wherever you are.
Is it possible for the cigars to be damaged in transit?
Cigars are fragile and can be harmed by pressure, temperature changes, or mishandling. That is why we carefully inspect each cigar before packing. Every box is placed inside a sealed bag with a 72% Boveda humidity vault, while individual cigars are wrapped in protective material to safeguard the head and foot. This ensures your cigars arrive in Egypt in optimal smoking condition.
