Method

  • A line gets a page when EU imports from Egypt reached EUR 100,000 in 2025 (Eurostat Comext DS-045409). 60 lines pass; 31 of them have a default in Egypt's own table, the rest use the table for other countries and territories.
  • Codes follow the default table of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, Annex I, as replaced by 2026/1740: some rows are whole headings (HS4), some HS6, some CN8. Trade for a heading covers every CN8 line under it.
  • TARIC lines (white and grey clinker, white and grey cement under 2523 90, calcined clay) have no trade figure, because Comext stops at CN8, so they have no page. The default table lists 7610 90 and 7610 90 90 separately; their trade is the same shipments.
  • Electricity is left out: its default figures are IEA data under a non-commercial licence, and Egypt has no recorded electricity exports to the EU.
  • The downloads hold all 260 lines of the default table, with or without trade.
