Exporting to Israel
Israel is one of the most advanced technology economies in the world and an important market for Dutch machine parts, medical technology, and agri-tech. Schiphol offers multiple direct cargo flights per week to Tel Aviv (TLV), allowing most shipments to be cargo-to-cargo within 5–7 hours.
Customs & Regulations
Israeli customs (Israel Tax Authority) use the Sha'ar Olami system for digital declarations. For most industrial goods, a commercial invoice, packing list, and — for goods under the EU-Israel Association Agreement — an EUR.1 or invoice declaration for preferential tariff treatment are sufficient. Separate registration requirements apply for medical, telecom, and cosmetic products with the Ministry of Health or the Standards Institution of Israel (SII).
Practical Tips
- Request an EUR.1 or issuer's declaration in time for preferential clearance — this can significantly reduce import duties
- Keep in mind Shabbat (Friday evening through Saturday) and Jewish holidays when operations are halted
- Dual-use goods require export licenses from the Netherlands as well as an end-user declaration
