In alignment with the new directives issued by governmental authorities regarding the digitalization of local Egyptian export shipments, we would like to draw your attention to the updated process introduced by Misr Technology Services (MTS). As per the attached workflow, a new export cycle will be implemented, including the mandatory use of a Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) starting Thursday, October 30, 2025. Please note that effective from this date, all local export shipments must obtain a UCR in advance — a unique and non-repetitive identifier for each export consignment ( لشحنة الصادر متكرر مم ي ف ي غ ي ف رقم تع ). For any technical clarifications regarding the UCR requirements or registration procedures, we kindly advise you to contact MTS directly. This applies to all shippers, booking parties, and freight forwarders involved in the export process. A testing phase for the new export cycle began on September 30, 2025, allowing stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the system and ensure readiness. We remain committed to providing you with the highest level of support and thank you for your continued cooperation.
We would like to inform you that, in accordance with current operating procedures since August 2023, ACID (Advance Cargo Information Declaration) number is mandatory at the Shipping Instructions stage for all import shipments to Egypt.
Please note the following:
Shipping Instructions (SI) will not be processed unless a valid ACID number is provided.
Any cost associated with loading delays/container rollover due to delays or failure to provide a valid ACID number will be on shipper’s account.
For customers submitting SI via E-Sea, please update ACID number in additional information section in E-Sea to avoid shipment delays or operational disruptions.
Should you require further clarification, please contact your local customer service representative.
