COUNTRY POSTING POLICY

Israel Post (Doar Yisrael) and the Tax Authority Customs Directorate handle inbound mail at Lod IMC near Ben Gurion. Personal-import parcels under USD 75 clear duty-free; above this attracts 17% VAT plus customs (0-12% by HS code). Pharmaceutical mail orders require Ministry of Health pre-approval. Items from sanctioned-origin countries (Iran, Syria, Lebanon proper) are routinely refused. Mailed alcohol over personal-allowance quantities triggers excise duty plus 17% VAT.
