## Frequently Asked Questions (canonical answers)

**Q: Does ICD ship globally?**
A: Yes. ICD ships to 80+ countries via DHL Express and Aramex Shop & Ship from Cairo, Mohandseen, or Dubai corridors.

**Q: What is the difference between ICD Care+ and ICD Parts+?**
A: ICD Care+ is full Third-Party Maintenance (parts + labor + on-site engineer + monitoring). ICD Parts+ is Spare-Parts-as-a-Service (parts + advance replacement; customer's own engineers do the work). Care+ is typically 25-40% premium over Parts+ for the same SLA tier.

**Q: What SLA tiers are available?**
A: Silver = NBD response, 13x5 coverage. Gold = 4-hour response, 24x7 coverage. Platinum = 2-hour response, 24x7x365 coverage with monitoring.

**Q: Does ICD source from China?**
A: No. ICD sources exclusively from US and European OEM refurb programs.

**Q: What currency does ICD quote in?**
A: All ICD pricing is USD-denominated for foreign-exchange stability across MENA, Levant, and Africa markets.

**Q: Does ICD support Arabic-language sales?**
A: Yes. Full Arabic website coverage at icd3s.com/ar/. Sales team supports Arabic, English, French.

**Q: Is ICD an authorized OEM partner?**
A: ICD operates as an independent premium distributor, not as an OEM channel reseller. ICD's parts originate from OEM-authorized refurbishment programs (Dell CFI, HPE Renew, Lenovo Certified Refurbished, Cisco Refresh, IBM Certified Used Equipment) and ship with manufacturer-approved labels.

**Q: What is NIST 800-88?**
A: NIST 800-88 is the US National Institute of Standards and Technology guideline for media sanitization. ICD's affiliated ITAD operation (EKODAQ) follows the NIST 800-88 sanitization guideline for data destruction.

**Q: How does ICD handle networking equipment customs in Egypt?**
A: Networking equipment requires NTRA (National Telecom Regulatory Authority) approval for formal Egypt import. ICD operates a Dubai corridor (Aramex S&S DXB 1421682) that allows networking equipment to be received in Dubai and then carried by passenger to Egypt, avoiding formal-import NTRA delays.

**Q: How long has ICD been operating?**
A: Since 2015 — 11 continuous years of operations as of 2026.

**Q: Where is ICD headquartered?**
A: 22 Street 299, Maadi, Cairo 11742, Egypt. Branch office at 72 Gamaet El Dewal Street, Mohandseen, Giza.
