Importing Furniture and Homeware Into Israel
Furniture combines high freight cost, high damage risk and demanding assembly documentation.
A category we have imported first-hand.
Common sourcing countries
China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Turkey, Italy, Poland
Typical quality risks
Moisture content in timber, finish defects, hardware quality, missing fittings, damage in transit, assembly instructions that do not match the product.
Possible regulatory considerations
Formaldehyde emission and stability requirements may apply to certain items. Hebrew assembly instructions and safety warnings are commonly expected.
Shipping considerations
Knock-down flat-pack construction dramatically reduces container volume. Loading supervision matters more here than in almost any other category.
How Import Israel assists
- Locating and verifying manufacturers capable of producing to your specification
- Comparing quotations on delivered landed cost rather than factory price
- Agreeing a written specification, packaging standard and inspection criteria before production
- Inspecting during production and before the container is sealed
- Assessing the regulatory requirements likely to apply, and coordinating testing where needed
- Arranging freight, documentation, customs clearance and delivery in Israel
Requirements vary according to the product, intended use, country of manufacture and applicable regulations. We do not claim specialist regulatory expertise in a category without verification; regulated work is coordinated through appropriately licensed professionals, testing bodies and the relevant authorities.
