Wholesale used engines to Egypt
Large parc, capable local workshops, and an import regime that rewards buyers who get their paperwork right the first time.
Wholesale onlyRegular orders are one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or with gearboxes 45 + 45 / 65 + 65. New customers can make their first purchase from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately): first-order offer. A second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price. We do not sell single units.

| Discharge ports | Alexandria and Port Said |
| Indicative sea transit | From Nansha or Shekou, about 22 to 30 days to Alexandria or Port Said. A band, not a promise: direct services sit at the low end and transhipment at the high end, and your forwarder confirms the actual schedule at booking |
| Container configurations | 20-ft: 90 engines, or 45 engines + 45 gearboxes · 40-ft: 130 engines, or 65 engines + 65 gearboxes |
| Minimum order | One full container in one of those four commercial configurations, with the mix of models chosen by you — or, on a new customer’s first purchase only, from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (first-order offer). Never single units. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition), in the mixed loads or a first order. Each load's weight and dimensions are checked when it is prepared |

Import rules: the status of used engine imports in Egypt, with the official source, is in our import rules atlas; the global market report puts this lane in context.
Korean platforms lead the demand
Hyundai and Kia have a deep footprint in the Egyptian parc, and the replacement-engine market reflects that far more than it does in East Africa. Theta, Nu and G4 stock moves here in numbers that surprise suppliers used to Toyota-dominant markets.
Japanese petrol still sells, and light commercial diesel has a steady base, but a container built for Egypt should not look like a container built for Kenya.
Paperwork decides whether this lane works
Egyptian import procedures for used automotive components are detailed and enforced. We screen the lane before quoting and prepare documentation against what your customs broker confirms is currently required — not against what was required last year.
If your broker tells you something different from what we assumed, tell us before the container is booked. Changing paperwork on paper is cheap; changing it at the port is not.
Documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, HS 8407 and 8408, plus any registration or inspection documentation your broker specifies for the shipment.

An engines-only container is 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, whatever the mix of models. At the prices above, an engines-only 20-ft load to Egypt runs from USD 27,000 (all HR16DE) to USD 70,200 (all 1NZ-FE) FOB, and an engines-only 40-ft from USD 39,000 to USD 101,400. The mixed configurations — 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft, 65 + 65 in a 40-ft — are priced separately; used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). Sea freight to Alexandria and Port Said is quoted separately. Most containers are a mix, so your figure sits between the two: build the exact mix in the quoter and the total reaches your inbox the same minute.

Frequently asked
How much does a container of used engines to Egypt cost?
An engines-only 20-ft container of 90 Grade A engines runs from USD 27,000 for an all-HR16DE load to USD 70,200 for all 1NZ-FE, FOB Guangzhou at our published per-unit prices; an engines-only 40-ft of 130 engines runs from USD 39,000 to USD 101,400. Mixed loads of 45 engines + 45 gearboxes or 65 + 65 are priced separately. Sea freight to Alexandria and Port Said is quoted separately for the lane. Most buyers order a mix, so the real figure sits between those two — the online quoter prices your exact mix in one minute and emails the total.
What is the minimum order for Egypt?
Regular orders are one full container, in one of four commercial configurations: 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft; or, with gearboxes, 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft or 65 + 65 in a 40-ft. You choose the mix of models. The exception is a new customer’s first purchase, which can start from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price per unit, with no first-order surcharge, and LCL sea freight from Guangzhou quoted separately; whether we can ship to Egypt on those terms is confirmed in the quotation. Your second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price, shipped LCL or in a shared 20-ft container; from then on, full containers at list price. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). We do not sell single units; other ratios are a commercial enquiry for sales.
How long does shipping used engines from China to Egypt take?
Sea transit from Nansha or Shekou runs about 22 to 30 days to Alexandria or Port Said, with direct services at the low end of that band and transhipment routings at the high end; the schedule, route and freight are confirmed when the booking is made, so treat the band as indicative. Before that clock starts, the order moves through two payments of the agreed order total: a 30 per cent deposit starts order preparation and arranges the shipping booking, the engines are checked and documented with supervised video and individual photos, and the 70 per cent balance is settled before shipment. From the deposit onward you get a milestone update at least every five days.
Which engines should an Egyptian container carry?
Korean first. Hyundai and Kia have a deep footprint in the Egyptian parc, so G4FA, G4FC, G4FG, G4KD and G4NA move here in numbers that surprise suppliers used to Toyota-dominant markets. Japanese petrol and light commercial diesel keep a steady base behind them — but a container built for Egypt should not look like a container built for Kenya.
What paperwork does an Egyptian import of used engines need?
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading under HS 8407 and 8408, plus any registration or inspection documentation your customs broker specifies for the shipment. Egyptian procedures for used automotive components are detailed and enforced; we prepare documents against what your broker confirms is required now, not last year.
Which port should I clear through?
Alexandria and Port Said are the two we ship into. Tell us which at enquiry, because the documentation set is prepared for the actual route rather than generically.
