Visitors to Cairo take note
I have read that visitors to Egypt are allowed to purchase 4 liters of alcohol duty free withing 48 hours of arrival. I have read conflicting reports on what one is allowed to bring along in personal baggage…
There is a duty free shop in the airport and a few others in Cairo (and other tourist destinations).
I have been instructing friends and family that if they come visit, the “cost” of their lodging at chez jack and kaddee will be 4 liters of alcohol. I’ll meet you at the airport, take you to duty free and I’ll even pay for the booze, but I’ll need your passport.
Today I found a link to the Egypt Free Shops. Not a great selection of single malts, but it is better than nothing and the prices are pretty good.
That is our unaccompanied air freight shipping allowance. It gets shipped to NYC, where it gets palletized and combined with other faculty members shipments, and then shipped on to Cairo
I don’t know if that means it is 750lbs FULL STOP, or if that is all that AUC will pay for, and if we go over, we pay the difference.
AUC has an arrangement with the Egyptian government:
They sign a letter of guarantee that all the items we are shipping over air freight will be taken out of the country by us when we leave. That means that everything we ship in is duty free.
If, for any reason, an item does not get shipped out, we would have to pay a duty (which is oftern in excess of 100% of the value of the item).
Even if an item breaks, we have to ship it home, or pay the duty.
750 lbs. We both use a lot of books in our day to day jobs. We will have to get as many as possible on CD-ROM.
It will be interesting.
