Since 2018, Algeria has legislated a DAPS on imports, authorising the Ministry of Commerce to impose additional duties ranging from 30% to 200% per year on imports, with the aim of reducing imports and encouraging domestic production.
From 4 October 2021, a temporary additional defence duty (DAPS) will be imposed on 992 imported products already produced in Algeria at rates ranging from 30% to 120%, which may be extended to 2,608 imported products in the future.

Usually customs clearance is within one working day. In the event that Customs has doubts about the goods, it will take longer to clear the goods if the consignee needs to assist Customs.
Goods with incomplete formalities are held up for customs clearance. For example, if an individual imports, Customs requires import and export rights and seeks clearance from an agent of a company with import and export rights. If relevant certification procedures are required, provide them to Customs if they can be provided. If they cannot be provided, then the consignment cannot be cleared and retrieved.

Shipping from Shenzhen to Algeria can be done to Algiers, Bejaia, Oran and other ports in the country.
Port of Algiers
The port code DZALG, due to its geostrategic location, the port of Algiers can cover the central, central-eastern and central-western parts of the country. The rest of the country, including the south, can be considered as part of the hinterland of the port of Algiers, taking into account the flow of goods generated by the activities of oil companies. The port of Algiers has a special geographical position in the Mediterranean region, which at the national level also makes it the first commercial port of Algeria.
Port of Bejaia
Port code DZBJA, Bejaia is located 200 km east of Algiers. Overview: The port consists of 3 basins, of which 24 berths are protected by breakwaters. Nearby are factories for vegetable oil production and refining, wood processing, textile mills and public works plants. All types of cargo can be handled, including containers and petroleum products. Road and rail links to other Algerian towns.

Sea freight is now one of the main ways of cross-border logistics, and there are two types of transport methods: LCL and full container. If your cargo volume is relatively small, then it is more advantageous to choose LCL; for a full container, it is mainly one box, one exporter, one destination port and one consignee.
Relatively speaking, the process of consolidation is more complicated than the whole container process.
Shipping Process
As long as there is a problem with the documents of the goods in the container, then the export customs will not release the goods, which will affect the overall transportation of goods.
The whole container, is in line with the export and import of the country's customs inspection, customs clearance, release of the smallest unit, then you can release, more secure and safer, and more efficient.
Overall cost
In general, LCL is more expensive than FCL.
The cost of a full container is mainly freight, transport surcharge and port miscellaneous charges, which are fixed; while in the case of LCL, there is also the cost of consolidation at the port of shipment and unconsolidation at the port of destination, which may include consolidation, unconsolidation and storage charges. And if the goods cannot be stored and transported in time, there will be loss of space charges.
However, it does not mean that a full container is better than a LCL, it depends on your cargo. If the cargo is more than 18 square choose full container is cost-effective, otherwise LCL is more advantageous. Of course, we should also consider the cost of fees, but also to consider the invisible risk, and then to make a choice.
