Air and sea freight between Türkiye (Turkey) and Egypt. Short Mediterranean routes to Alexandria, Port Said and Cairo — competitive rates, quotes in 1 hour.
Following the normalization of Turkish–Egyptian diplomatic relations in 2023, bilateral trade has grown significantly. Türkiye exports machinery, vehicles, chemicals, textiles and construction materials to Egypt — while Egyptian exports include fertilizers, ceramics, agricultural products and chemicals. The short Mediterranean sea distance (Mersin to Port Said: ~800 km) makes this one of the fastest overwater corridors in the region. CANXANSA coordinates both import and export freight for this route. Customs clearance at origin or destination can be added to your quote, depending on the route. Clearance at the other end, duties and taxes are arranged by the buyer or seller with their customs broker.
Express air cargo from Istanbul (IST/SAW) to Cairo International (CAI). Ideal for time-sensitive shipments, spare parts, pharmaceuticals or high-value goods. Direct and transit routes available.
Times shown in hours are indicative flight times. Total door-to-door delivery time also includes pickup, cargo handling, any connections, customs clearance and final delivery, and is confirmed in your quote.
Full container loads from Mersin or Istanbul to Alexandria or Port Said. One of the shortest Mediterranean sea routes — 20' and 40' containers. Ideal for bulk shipments, industrial goods and construction materials.
Groupage (less-than-container) sea freight for smaller consignments. Consolidated with other cargo to Alexandria or Port Said. Cost-effective for shipments under 15 CBM that don't require a full container.
Customs clearance at one end of the route, export clearance at origin or import clearance at destination, can be added to your quote depending on the route. Clearance at the other end, duties and taxes are arranged by the buyer or seller with their customs broker. We coordinate with the broker and send the documents they need on time.
Sea freight from Mersin to Port Said or Alexandria typically takes 4–7 days for FCL shipments. LCL groupage can take 5–9 days due to consolidation schedules. The short Mediterranean distance makes this one of the fastest sea corridors available from Türkiye.
The primary departure ports are Mersin (the most direct to Egypt), Istanbul (Ambarlı/Haydarpaşa) and İzmir. On the Egyptian side, Alexandria is the main commercial port, while Port Said serves cargo transiting through the Suez Canal zone.
Standard export documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air), and an Egyptian import licence for regulated goods. Some product categories require additional permits from Egyptian customs authorities.
Egypt applies import controls to certain product categories including textiles, food, chemicals and electronics. Pre-shipment inspection may be required for some goods. We coordinate transport documents with your customs broker before cargo is loaded. Customs clearance at origin or destination can be added to your quote, depending on the route. Clearance at the other end, duties and taxes are arranged by the buyer or seller with their customs broker.
