TAX CHART

These are the taxes for personal import without rights. The source is the Israel government web site.

The right hand column is for goods brought from the US and made in the US or from Europe and made in Europe AND accompanied by a certificate of origin or a Euro1.

When you purchase and ship through Kef, we can take care of getting those documents. The left column is when any of those conditions is not met.
