Sarah Global Logistics

Shipping from Egypt to Italy

Italy is the lane we work every week. We move cargo between Egyptian factories and buyers and suppliers in Italy by three routes, and we price them side by side so you choose on time and cost, not on what suits the carrier.

Three ways to reach Italy

RoRo: Damietta to Trieste

Your cargo is loaded into the trailer at the factory door. The same trailer drives onto the vessel in Damietta, drives off in Trieste, and continues straight to the consignee. No cranes and no reloading on the way. We run this lane with our European partner, Cecconi Truck Service.

  • Trailer capacity 103 m³, 13.60 m long
  • Garment-on-hanger rails fitted when needed
  • GPS tracking on every trailer with a monitored alarm
  • Multi-drop delivery on a single trip

Best for: finished garments, launch-dated cargo, and goods that suffer from repeated handling.

Ocean freight: full containers and weekly consolidation

Scheduled sailings from Alexandria and Damietta for FCL and LCL. If your cargo does not fill a container, our weekly consolidation box to northern Italy means you ship without waiting to build volume.

Best for: heavy cargo, large volumes, and shipments that can trade a few extra days for a lower cost.

Air freight: from Cairo International Airport

For pre-production samples, end-of-season replenishment, and any shipment where the date matters more than the cost. Door to door, with destination clearance in the same file.

AirCairo to Italian airports, both directionsSamples and urgent shipmentsDoor to door

Customs and documents, both directions

We handle the paperwork in-house, so you do not deal with a second office for clearance.

  • Exports from Egypt: EUR.1 and certificate of origin. Egyptian-origin goods enter the EU duty-free under the EU-Egypt Association Agreement, subject to rules of origin. Please confirm current details with your customs adviser.
  • Imports into Egypt: ACID registration on Nafeza before shipping, and a single customs declaration for multi-supplier consolidations.

Who ships with us on this lane

  • Egyptian garment and textile factories: fabrics and trims in from Italy, finished garments out, with one forwarder in both directions.
  • Fashion brands and retailers: scheduled hanging-garment departures and direct store delivery.
  • Industrial importers and exporters: full containers, port to door, supervised from one desk.

Frequently asked questions

Do you ship small quantities to Italy?
Yes. The weekly consolidation container and part loads on the trailers exist for exactly that. There is no minimum volume to start.
Do you also ship from Italy to Egypt?
Yes. The lane runs both ways: fabrics and production inputs inbound, garments and finished goods outbound.
How do I know which route is cheapest for my shipment?
Send us one real shipment: origin, destination, volume, Incoterm and target date. You get the available routes priced side by side, all-in to the door, with transit time and customs position.

Garment-on-hanger specialists

Garment precision at every milestone.

Factory-to-distribution hanging containers that eliminate re-pressing costs and transit creasing. Garments leave the production floor hanging and arrive hanging, then run multi-drop direct to individual stores across Europe.

Everything we do

Nine services. One file, one invoice.

Move the cargo, clear it, store it, insure it and pack it — without handing the shipment to a second company halfway.

Accountability

Direct access.
Zero red tape.

When a vessel faces port delays, or urgent paperwork verification is needed on a weekend, you do not file a ticket with a call centre. You reach operational decision-makers with direct authority.

“We've been using SGL for several years, and they have consistently provided reliable and cost-effective solutions for our international shipments.”

We did not arrive
