Transport Israel

DSV offers air freight, sea freight, and multimodal transport solutions to and from Israel. In addition, we provide warehousing, distribution, and customs clearance services to ensure optimal support for your supply chain. For urgent deliveries, we offer XPress services, with priority handling to achieve the fastest possible transit times.

Air freight to Israel typically takes between 2 to 5 days, depending on factors such as the chosen airline, availability of direct flights, and the speed of customs clearance at Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV). For urgent shipments, express services are available that can significantly reduce transit time.

Sea freight from ports such as Rotterdam or Antwerp to the Israeli ports of Haifa or Ashdod usually takes around 15 to 18 days. Exact transit times depend on the chosen route, transshipment points, and potential waiting times at the destination port. Delays may occur during peak periods or in case of geopolitical tensions, especially during customs clearance or port congestion.

DSV offers both FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) sea freight solutions and collaborates with leading shipping lines and airlines to ensure efficient and reliable transport routes. With DSV’s advanced track & trace solutions, you can monitor your shipments in real time, giving you full visibility of your transport’s location and progress at any stage.

The costs depend on factors such as weight, volume, chosen mode of transport, customs charges, and any applicable surcharges. For an exact price indication, DSV provides a tailored quote based on the specific details of your shipment.

Exporting to Israel typically requires a commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, and in some cases, a certificate of origin. DSV provides full support in preparing all necessary customs documentation to ensure swift clearance and smooth customs processing.

Israel enforces strict customs procedures, overseen by the Israel Tax Authority. DSV handles the entire customs process, including HS classification, declarations, and compliance checks, to prevent any delays.

The key seaports are Haifa and Ashdod, both located on the Mediterranean coast. For air freight, Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV), near Tel Aviv, is the primary airport. Our presence in these major logistics hubs enables us to offer fast and efficient transport solutions.

Regional tensions or geopolitical developments can affect transport to and from Israel, particularly through delayed customs checks, temporary closures of ports or airports, or increased security measures. In some cases, planned routes may need to be diverted or certain areas may become temporarily restricted for freight traffic.

DSV closely monitors the situation and works with local partners and authorities to keep your shipments moving safely and efficiently. Thanks to our flexible transport solutions, alternative routing options, and crisis management capabilities, we can respond quickly and keep your supply chain running, even under challenging circumstances.
