Dear Sir,

As per update from DHL, Cellphones, smart phones and smart watch (with camera) are prohibited to ship to Egypt. Customer needs to obtain Telecom authority approval.

Per  Egyptian  Customs:  

Import of Gadgets, Watches, and Accessories with hidden / non-visible cameras and/or voice recording devices is forbidden. If  such shipment arrives in country, shipment will not be RTO and will be confiscated by Customs authorities. (e.g., smart watches, pins, or pens with camera/recording devices)

The Customer should contact  DHL-Egypt for  any  possible assistance.    He must obtain Import  permit from Egyptian Telecom authority    He will likely need to provide proof of purchase, and full  manufacturer’s details of  the watch features in order to show that his item  does not contain any camera  or recording devices,  .  With Telecom Authority approval,  then  shipment could possibly clear as a formal entry. 

Regards,

Ibrahim
