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.

Thank you for your support and partnership with ESL.
