Hi Martin
Cars are silly money expensive,depending on the cc.The lowest being 61% of the value of the car,and thats only for 1000cc!!

For electricals,the duty is 30% of value, and tax is 25% of value. But ive been told that if they are old electricals(or not in box and looking new!!)that you might get away with not paying!(but ive budgeted for wose case cinareo!)

Furniture....the duty is 40% of value and tax is 10% of value.

I also have the rates for computers,books,consumables,clothes old and new.
And a list of restricted items and another list of prohibited items.

It took a lot of looking into!

If you want the other lists,let me know.Hope that helps.

Karen

Handy to know info,however is it really worth all the hassle and then the worry of maybe getting taxed on top.
Did you have a look at Cairo at all or are you happy to stick with this route?

Hi Martin
Have you looked at the practicality of bringing a car in to Egypt? I've got an 11 year old Range Rover 4.2 petrol which is an absolute Gas Guzzler but at 10p per litre it doesn't seem so bad. I only paid 1500€ for it three years ago so the duty shouldn't be too bad. Any thoughts? It would be perfect for Hurghada. Also any thoughts about a possible route from Spain; I've been told driving to Italy and then a ferry to either Alexandria or Tunisia is the best bet?
