A US-headquartered fintech was launching merchant payments in Egypt and needed to import 12,000 SASCO POS terminals plus supporting network gear for deployment across 8 governorates — without setting up an Egyptian subsidiary. NTRA type-approvals, customs duty schedules, and VAT registration would have taken 6+ months to navigate alone. The launch window was 90 days.
Took the client from contract signature to first live merchant in 84 days.
Preserved full SASCO warranty entitlements through compliant import-of-record paperwork and certified handling.
Met every NTRA, Customs Authority, and Egyptian Tax Authority requirement under one accountable workflow.
Our Cairo hub operates a full Egyptian entity with NTRA, ETA, and Customs Authority registrations already in place — so the client's deployment timeline never had to wait on regulatory onboarding.
Submitted the SASCO POS terminal models for NTRA type approval in parallel with the client's hardware procurement, removing the longest-lead regulatory item from the critical path.
Imported all 12,000 SASCO units under our Egyptian IOR entity, settled duties and VAT, and cleared Cairo Airport customs in a single consolidated entry.
Coordinated last-mile distribution to merchant aggregators in Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and five additional governorates with serialized, SASCO-aligned chain-of-custody reporting.
The fintech onboarded its first Egyptian merchant six days ahead of plan, completed full deployment of the SASCO terminal fleet in under 90 days, and avoided an estimated $400K in entity setup, legal, and registration costs. Egypt is now their fastest-growing MENA market.
