Importer of Record in Israel

If your company is based abroad and you want to bring goods into Israel — to sell, to distribute, or to fulfill a deal — you legally need an entity in Israel that can act as the Importer of Record. Opening a local company, registering for VAT and building a logistics operation just to import is slow and expensive. We are that entity for you.

What is an Importer of Record (IOR)?

The Importer of Record is the party legally responsible for bringing goods into a country — ensuring the import is compliant, documented, and that all duties and taxes are paid. In Israel, that means dealing with the Customs Authority, the 18% VAT, product regulations and more. As your IOR, we take full responsibility for this on your behalf.

What we handle as your IOR in Israel
