Egyptian automotive dealers should pause final procurement decisions based on inconsistent quotations and standardize the quotation basis. The procurement manager should compare seller and freight-forwarder quotations item by item by vehicle quantity, loading port, destination port, vessel schedule, service scope, and currency, and require both parties to explain the differences in writing. Finance should include in the cost sheet only items with a confirmed responsible party and validity period. If the discrepancy involves an Incoterm, the contract appendix should be revised accordingly. Destination-country duties and taxes, customs clearance, and registration procedures are subject to the relevant authorities, licensed providers, and contractual terms.
