Freight Forwarding
Freight Forwarding Between China, the Gulf, and Egypt
X Global Trade is a freight forwarding company that manages the full journey of commercial cargo between China, the Gulf, MENA, and Egypt: booking sea and air freight, preparing shipping documents, clearing customs, and delivering to the final warehouse under one accountable team.
A freight forwarder is the single point of responsibility between a supplier and a consignee. Instead of the importer coordinating a shipping line, a customs broker, a trucking company, and a documentation agent separately, the forwarder contracts and coordinates all of them. XGT operates this model with its own teams in Guangzhou and Cairo, so the origin side and the destination side of every shipment are handled by one company.
XGT moves full containers, consolidated LCL cargo, and airfreight, and clears goods through the Egyptian ports of Sokhna, Alexandria, Damietta, and Port Said. Shipments can be handled on any terms from FOB to DDP, including door-to-door delivery to warehouses across Egypt.
Active corridors: China to Egypt (primary), Europe to the Gulf and MENA, Gulf and MENA to Egypt, China to the Gulf and MENA, Taiwan to Egypt, and UAE to USA.

FAQ
Common questions
A freight forwarder organizes the movement of commercial cargo on behalf of an importer or exporter. The forwarder books space with shipping lines or airlines, prepares and checks shipping documents, arranges customs clearance at origin and destination, and coordinates trucking to the final address. XGT performs all of these steps with its own staff in China and Egypt, so one team is accountable from the factory floor to the destination warehouse.
A customs broker handles one step: declaring goods to customs and paying duties at the destination port. A freight forwarder manages the whole shipment, of which customs clearance is one stage. XGT includes licensed customs clearance at Egyptian ports inside its freight forwarding service, so importers do not need to hire a separate broker.
XGT clears sea freight through Sokhna Port on the Red Sea and through the Mediterranean ports of Alexandria, Damietta, and Port Said. Air cargo is cleared at Cairo International Airport. The right port depends on the sailing route, the cargo type, and the final delivery address, and XGT recommends the best option at booking.
