Import and export in Israel: between the war of iron swords and progress in 2024

The Evolving Landscape of Import and Export in Israel

The Israeli business world of import and export has undergone significant transformations in recent years. 
On one hand, we are witnessing positive trends of globalization, the opening of new markets, and the development of new technologies. 
On the other hand, we face numerous challenges, including:

• Increased Regulatory Complexity: New standards, international laws and procedures, stricter security requirements, and more, are making import and export processes increasingly complex and challenging.
• Growing Competition: New players from all over the world are entering the Israeli market, making it difficult for Israeli businesses to compete.
• Lack of Infrastructure: Israel suffers from a lack of logistical infrastructure, such as seaports and airports, which leads to delays and significant cost increases in import and export processes.
• Operation Protective Edge: The complex security situation in the region significantly impacts Israel's international trade activities, causing instability and uncertainty.
• Customs Brokerage: Customs brokerage is a complex and multidisciplinary professional field, requiring in-depth knowledge of customs laws, international procedures, standards, and more.
  • Experienced customs brokers help businesses navigate the complexities of import and export processes, allowing them to save time, money, and avoid costly mistakes.
• New Standards: In recent years, we have witnessed the implementation of many new standards in the field of import and export, both nationally and internationally.
  • These standards are designed to ensure product quality, safety, and environmental protection.
  • Businesses must stay updated on new standards and ensure they comply with them.

Improving Import Processes

Import processes in Israel can be improved in several ways:

• Establishing a New Computerized System: A system that would allow importers and exporters to carry out all operations with customs authorities online, efficiently, and simply.
• Professional Training: Providing professional training to businesses in the field of import and export, to help them cope with the complexities of the field.
• Improving Infrastructure: Investment in logistical infrastructure, such as seaports and airports, will enable a more efficient flow of goods and reduce costs and delays in import and export processes.

International Cooperation: International cooperation with other countries in the field of international trade can help reduce trade barriers, simplify procedures, and promote economic cooperation.

New Opportunities: Despite the many challenges, there are also many new opportunities in the field of import and export in Israel. The opening of new markets, the development of new technologies, and the increase in demand for Israeli products worldwide open new doors for Israeli businesses.

Progress in 2024: 2024 can be a year of significant progress in the field of import and export in Israel. Through cooperation between the government, the private sector, and academia, it is possible to overcome challenges and capitalize on new opportunities.
