Distribution & Warehousing
Bonded warehousing, cross-docking and final-mile distribution from Egyptian ports into MENA, Mediterranean, East Africa and Eastern Europe — buyer-side logistics quoted as a transparent add-on to FOB / CFR / CIF, under the same lot traceability as the loading port.
Distribution & warehousing — extending lot traceability past the destination port
Once cargo arrives at a destination port, the next step is moving it into the consignee's warehouse, blender, plant or distribution centre. Egypt Globe Group runs a destination-side distribution layer — in-house at major hubs, partner-network at the rest — so buyers do not need separate logistics contracts for the last 50 km. The service is quoted as a separate, itemised add-on to FOB / CFR / CIF pricing; inland freight rates are pulled from the same group freight-rate register that powers ocean pricing and appear as a line item on the proforma invoice.
Distribution is where the Certificate of Analysis either survives or is lost. A bonded stockpile that mixes lots, or a cross-dock that cannot say which B/L a truck came from, breaks the evidence chain the buyer paid for at the loading port. EGG's destination operations carry the lot number from the B/L through the warehouse receipt to the delivery note, so the specification guaranteed at the port of loading remains traceable to the consignee's door.

Import procedures per country are summarised in the import guides, including Kenya, Italy, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Standards & documentation
- Destination customs documentation and preferential origin (EUR.1, PAFTA, COMESA, AfCFTA): trade documentation.
- Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract; voyage condition is governed by the B/L and marine insurance; destination handling under EGG control is recorded per lot — see quality & compliance and inspection & quality control.
- Eastern European operations run through the group's Pelot Logistika partnership.
