Importing Textiles and Apparel Into Israel
Apparel is a fit-and-consistency business. The sample is easy; the fifth production run is the test.
A category we have imported first-hand.
Common sourcing countries
China, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Portugal
Typical quality risks
Size grading errors, shade variation, shrinkage after washing, trim and label mistakes, late delivery against a season.
Possible regulatory considerations
Fibre composition, country of origin and care instructions labelled in Hebrew. Additional requirements may apply to children’s clothing.
Shipping considerations
Often air-freighted for season-critical goods and sea-freighted for basics. Split shipments are common and worth planning in advance.
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.
