Specific Rules for Auto Parts
Auto parts create a complex customs profile due to the wide variety of subtypes: engine parts, electronics, tires, lighting, brake systems, airbags, fuel components. Each type has its own HS code and import duties. AOG shipments (Aircraft on Ground for planes, similarly for cars: one halted production line or vehicle) require expedited declaration outside business hours — we provide 24/7 coverage for this.
HS Code Examples:
Chapter 87 — motor vehicles and parts. 8708.30 brakes and parts, 8708.40 gearboxes, 8708.50 drive shafts, 8708.99 other parts. Engines: 8407 combustion, 8501 electric motors. Tires: 4011. Airbags: 8708.95. Auto electronics are partially under chapter 85.
Specific Rules for Israel
EU-Israel Association Agreement effective since 2000: 0% duties for most industrial goods under rules of origin. EUR.1 is the standard document. Israeli customs are generally efficient. Specific rules apply for products originating from settlement areas in the West Bank (no preferential tariffs). Standard security checks at both export and import due to geopolitical context.
Typical Documents:
Commercial invoice, packing list, Air Waybill, EUR.1 for preferential origin (ensure production falls within correct Israeli borders), optionally security declaration depending on product.
