Making information accessible to importers and exporters
Against the background of the free-trade zone between Israel and the European Union and trade relations between the European Union and the Mediterranean countries (EuroMed), including Israel, a website was establishedsponsored by the International Trade Center and known as the ITC EuroMed Trade Helpdesk.
The Ministry of Economy and Industry uses the website to provide accessibility to information on the regulation and legality of imports and exports.
The website contains extensive information for importers and exporters about countries in the EuroMed zone (Mediterranean countries) and about European Union member states.
You can use the search engine on the website to find information about regulation relating to goods import and export processes and trade between countries; you can also contact information centers in the participating countries.
