• The fee amount is based on each phone's reference price in the official system. These prices are reviewed periodically in coordination with the manufacturers, so the tax amount may change over time.
• These fees do not apply to locally manufactured phones, and Xiaomi is one of the companies that manufacture some of their phones in Egypt, so checking by IMEI remains the most accurate way to know the status of any device.
• Since April 2026, the fees due on phones brought in from abroad can be paid in installments through valU, as announced by the Egyptian Customs Authority and the National Telecom Regulatory Authority.
