Our agency provides assistance to companies around the world who import into Israel. These services are offered in five different categories:
- Finding the legal requirements for importing into Israel
- Identifying potential importers
- Import statistics in Israel
- Assistance with logistic services
- Assistance in the transfer of payments
Finding the legal requirements for importing into Israel
Within this framework, we will identify and inform you of the relevant Israeli government requirements for importing cargo into Israel. We will notify you of the tax rates and legal requirements such as import licenses, approvals issued by the Standards Institute of Israel and so on.
In order to complete this activity, you will be requested to provide us the HS number of the goods. If you are unable to do so, we will classify the goods in Israel and send you the information. Classification of cargo in Israel may be liable for a special charge.
Locating potential importers
In this category we will build you a list of potential importers engaged in your specific field. This service has a number of options: identifying and delivering of a list of potential importers, making a first sales call, attempting to arrange meetings with potential importers.
Finding import statistics in Israel
We will locate import statistics of your products into Israel on your behalf. In certain cases we may not be able to provide you with accurate statistics of your exact product (for example: if you are interested in the import statistics for chairs, bear in mind that import statistics exist for furniture only). However, every effort will be made to be as accurate to your product as possible.
Logistical support
In case you are interested in exporting to Israel under Incoterms groups C or D terms and conditions, we will be happy to do a market survey among logistics service providers and supply you with proposals for international transportation, customs clearance, local costs and so on. After submitting the material, we will follow-up the implementation of the logistics activities, which will be carried out under our full supervision.
Transfer of Payments
As you are probably aware, banks charge high fees for international money transfers, particularly for Documentary Credits. We can serve as trustees to receive payment on your behalf whilst offering the lowest possible level of fees and commissions. There are several alternatives to transferring money apart from bank transfers, and we will be happy to offer you different options in this field.
