A source-bound view of 2025 merchandise exports from Egypt for buyers, researchers, and sourcing teams. The page keeps conflicting official snapshots separate instead of presenting false precision.
What the current official sources report
The WTO profile reports total 2025 merchandise exports of USD 50,526.5 million. The current UN Comtrade public API returns USD 51,391.290 million. The difference is not silently adjusted or merged because the sources expose different snapshots and metadata.

Methodology and limitations
Import Egypt extracted the source rows on 6 August 2026. HS2 shares are calculated only from the matching UN Comtrade API total. WTO product and destination rows remain tied to the WTO profile total. Rounded source displays can differ by USD 0.1 million. This dataset does not certify a supplier, classify a specific product, quote a live price, or replace customs and legal advice.
