Simplified introduction: movie
Explanation 
CargoX is linked to the Egyptian customs system Nafeza, where the importer needs to be registered and he needs to select the verified seller which is linked via the CargoX database.
Each exporter needs to register on the CargoX website in order to be able to sell to Egypt.
Each importer needs to register on the Nafeza website in order to import in Egypt.
Registration on CargoX 
On CargoX the exporter registration is is free of charge, but in order to be connected to the Nafeza website the exporter needs to be verified.

--> (copy) Bill of Lading
--> Packing list 
--> Commercial Invoice
--> Certificate of Origin 
--> EUR1 document (if required)
--> Other certificates if applicable (e.g. Phytosanitary certificate, ...)
* The document types of all uploaded documents will need to be set correctly in the CargoX system.
This envelope needs to be connected to the ACID number (shipment identification number)
The importer needs to send this unique shipment number to the exporter.
