Israel: Certificate of Origin Update
In an effort to further facilitate trade between Israel and the United States, the two parties have agreed to reduce the paperwork burden necessary to take advantage of the tariff reductions in the United States – Israel Free Trade Agreement. As of January 10, 2018, both sides removed the requirement for a Certificate of Origin for Exporting to Israel. The Certificate of Origin for Exporting to Israel is being replaced with an invoice declaration. A transition period allowing exporters to change their document requirements extends until March 31, 2018.
