The MENA practice
Trade compliance for both sides of the Egyptian border.
The La Ziza Group helps Egyptian manufacturers manage imports, substantiate exports to the United States, and recover the export incentives they have earned. Three connected services cover the full trade cycle.
Three services, one company
Clear
ACI / ACID compliance for importers and manufacturers
Every shipment of raw material, fabric or components you bring into Egypt needs an ACID before it leaves the origin port — and that ACID expires after six months. Clear puts every live filing on one screen with its clock running, so nothing lapses and no cargo is returned at your expense.
- Every ACID you hold on one screen, with its expiry clock
- Alerts before a filing lapses, not after
- A missing-document checklist for each filing
- Your import cost base, captured for your rebate claim
Qualify
QIZ content substantiation for shipments to America
Your goods enter the United States duty-free under the QIZ protocol — but that is a claim your American buyer makes to US Customs, and the proof sits in your cost records, not theirs. If the file is not there when Customs asks, your buyer pays the duty and the penalties. We build that file and keep it current.
- Qualifying-content calculation against the 35% threshold
- Egyptian and Israeli input shares documented and evidenced
- Tariff classification and valuation reviewed before shipment
- An audit-ready file your US buyer can stand behind
Recover
Export rebate recovery for exporters
We estimate, prepare, file, and follow up your Export Development Fund claim. The claim is filed in your company's name and paid into your own bank account.
- A rebate estimate before you commit
- Your claim prepared and filed for you
- The 90-day payment window tracked and followed up
- Our fee is charged only after the rebate is collected
Why one team handles all three
Manufacturers work both sides
Most Egyptian exporters also import raw materials and parts. The same company files ACIDs on the way in and can claim rebates on the way out.
Imports shape the rebate
Local value added carries the most weight in the Export Development Fund score. Knowing what you import is part of showing what you add in Egypt.
The same numbers, three times
The imported-input costs Clear tracks, the local value added the Export Development Fund scores you on, and the qualifying content US Customs checks for QIZ are the same numbers. We build them once and use them in all three places — in Arabic and in English.
