Terms of use of the Customs and Purchase Tax Tariff


The Customs and Purchase Tax Tariff is the main instrument used for the classification of goods. The correct classification of goods is the key to determining tax rates, as well as obtaining various authorizations, permits and licenses, and all other conditions of importation, in accordance to the applicable laws, regulations and instructions.
The Tariff published on the website was designed as a tool to present the public with the Customs Tax and Exemptions and Purchase Tax Ordinance, 5764-2004.
The Tariff published on the website corresponds to the official ordinance, however some structural differences exist.

The tariff published on our website is an information tool only concerning the taxes and tax rates applied on goods imported into Israel, and is intended for a preliminary valuation for payment of taxes. The information contained in this version of the tariff, shall not be regarded in any way as a substitute for legislation which may change from time to time, and therefore attention should be used.

We recommend contacting a Customs Broker (A list is available in Hebrew on our website), for further consultation since classification of goods requires professional knowledge.

Customs Tax and Exemptions and Purchase Tax Ordinance 5764-2004 and its amendments as published in the current official publications is the version that is legally binding.

Please note that some goods are charged with counter-veiling or anti-dumpling charges. For further information on these charges please contact the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor.
