Import Guide: Israel
Last reviewed: 24 September 2026. This is a practical starting guide for an online order shipped from Thailand to Israel. It is not an exhaustive legal opinion or a guarantee that any product will clear customs.
Not available at checkout yet. Sawasdeal's Israel Market is Draft. A country appearing in an EMS World service list does not establish that every product can be imported or that a shipping rate is available.
Customs and restricted goods
Israel's personal-import rules require the item to be permitted and for personal use; food and cosmetics can have separate Ministry of Health requirements. Verify the exact product and quantity before enabling sales.
Checks before a product can be offered
- Food and agricultural goods: verify full ingredients, animal origin, additives, allergens, shelf stability, packaging, destination-language labels, and any food-importer, health-certificate, plant-health or prior-approval requirement. Do not infer clearance from a personal traveller allowance.
- Cosmetics, herbal products, supplements and medicines: check the destination's classification, permitted ingredients and claims, registration or notification, importer or responsible-person obligations, and label rules.
- Other goods: verify product-safety rules and restrictions on plants, wood, wildlife, batteries, liquids, aerosols, tobacco, alcohol, weapons, counterfeit goods and cultural objects. The carrier's dangerous-goods rules are a separate check.
- Commercial order: declare the actual item, quantity, origin and value. A paid store purchase is not declared as a gift.
Official starting points
- Israel Tax Authority: personal imports by parcel or courier
- Ministry of Health: imported food controls
Requirements can change. We will review the exact product and current carrier route before activating this destination. If customs requests documents for an existing order, contact us before agreeing to a return or disposal.
