Exporting to Israel

Customs & Regulations

Israeli customs (Israel Tax Authority) operate with the Sha'ar Olami system for digital declarations. For most industrial goods, a commercial invoice, packing list, and โ€” for goods under the EU-Israel Association Agreement โ€” a 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).
