Paying ¥100: you're sampling, not stocking
At ¥100 the fee percentage is brutal and a regulated B2B rail's minimum charge can wipe out any FX saving, so a card or an Alipay TourPass payment is usually the sensible way to buy a single sample. Do not open a trade-payment account for a hundred yuan — that decision belongs a couple of zeroes higher, once you are buying to resell.
The pound trades on a managed float with a history of sharp step-devaluations and, at times, a parallel-market premium and FX availability constraints. That makes the gap between the official rate and what it actually costs to source dollars or RMB the defining cost of an Egyptian import — often more than the duty itself. Confirm both the rate and that the FX can actually be obtained before you commit.
The cheapest rail at this amount is XTransfer at ~1% — about £E7 on £E749.
Frequently asked questions
Is ¥100 enough to start importing?
It buys a single sample, not stock. Use it to test one supplier and confirm quality before you risk a real order.
Will a $14 order pay duty in Egypt?
At $14, and with Egypt having no de-minimis, this order pays full duty and VAT.

Karim covers the Egypt–China trade route with a focus on the two things that make it hard: customs and currency. He explains how ECA duties and the 14% VAT stack on a real order, why Egypt's ACI/Nafeza pre-clearance and Arabic-labelling rules catch importers out, and how the pound's managed float and FX controls shape the way money actually reaches a supplier in Yiwu or Guangzhou. He has followed Egypt's import-trade scene through successive rounds of currency reform.
