Israel Import and Export Decree (Import Groups)
A decree relating to the standards law.
This decree will be changed often since the list of products will change.
In the beginning of 2021, the Ministry of Economy and Industry signed a new “Israel Import and Export Decree (Import Groups) 5721-2021.”
Under the decree, Israel will reclassify many of Israel’s mandatory standards and downgrade the import “group” classification associated with each standard. These reclassifications will reduce the requirements for imported goods (non-food) that are subject to Israel’s mandatory standards. The reclassification process began in May 2021 and is scheduled to be completed by March 2023.
