Import services in Israel

Plan the import before goods depart

The best time to identify document, permit, and transport requirements is before the supplier ships. We review the available information, help plan the route, and coordinate each logistics stage.

Commercial imports

We support companies importing inventory, raw materials, equipment, parts, and other commercial cargo by air or sea. Regular importers can use one team across freight, customs, and delivery.

Private imports

Private imports can have different tax, standards, and documentation requirements. Contact us before purchase or dispatch so the specific goods and route can be reviewed.

Start with these details

• Product description and intended use
• Supplier and country of origin
• Invoice value and agreed Incoterm
• Number of packages, dimensions, and weight
• Desired arrival date and delivery address

Import planning sequence

1. Confirm that the importer and supplier details are correct.
2. Identify the product precisely and check whether permits or standards requirements may apply.
3. Choose an Incoterm and understand which transport stages it assigns to each party.
4. Compare air or sea based on complete cost, inventory timing, and cargo handling.
5. Review invoice and packing information before the transport document is issued.
6. Prepare for customs, terminal release, and delivery before arrival.

Regulated and unusual goods

Food, cosmetics, medical products, communications equipment, vehicles, chemicals, batteries, agricultural goods, and other controlled products can involve authorities beyond customs. This list is not exhaustive. Product-specific requirements should be checked before purchase or dispatch, not after the cargo is already in transit.
