Importing from Egypt without eyes on the ground?

These are the risks you face every day — and exactly what we solve.

Shipments that don't match specs?

We verify every detail — quality, size, grading, labeling, packaging — before the container is sealed. What you ordered is what you get.

No visibility on what happens at origin?

Our team is physically in Egypt — inside the packhouses, on the production lines. You receive detailed photos and reports in real time.

Afraid of costly rejections at destination?

We detect problems BEFORE export — not after your container arrives. Catch issues when they can still be fixed, not when it's too late.

Questions importers ask us

Everything you need to know before your first inspection with FoodGate Audit.

We cover all major agricultural and processing regions across Egypt, including the Nile Delta, Upper Egypt, and the Alexandria/Beheira export corridor. Our inspectors are strategically located to reach any packhouse or facility within 24 hours of scheduling.
In most cases, we can schedule an inspection within 24-48 hours of receiving your request. For ongoing partnerships, we can arrange dedicated inspectors who are available on demand to match your shipping schedule.
Our reports include detailed findings on product quality (freshness, appearance, grading), packaging and labeling compliance, temperature conditions, weight verification, photographic evidence, and a clear pass/fail recommendation with actionable notes.
Yes. All our inspectors hold ISO 17020 certification and relevant agricultural or food science qualifications. Our QA Coordinator has 10+ years of experience in plant health and food safety, and our team includes certified IPPC trainers.
Absolutely. We regularly inspect against GlobalGAP, BRC, TESCO Nurture, Aldi, Lidl, and other retailer-specific quality standards. Just share your requirements in the briefing and we'll tailor our inspection checklist accordingly.
You'll receive a detailed report explaining exactly what failed and why, with photographic evidence. This gives you the information to negotiate with your supplier, request corrections, or reject the shipment before it leaves Egypt — saving you the cost of rejection at destination.
Egypt is our home base and primary area of operation. We also have partnerships that allow us to arrange inspections in other countries. Contact us with your specific needs and we'll confirm coverage.
