In recent years, the popularity of small kitchen appliances in the global market has continued to rise, especially in Israel, a country that is passionate about "smart kitchens". Air fryers, rice cookers, juicers and other home appliances from China are becoming more and more popular among local consumers. In addition, Israel has a young population and strong consumption power, and is highly receptive to practical and cost-effective Chinese products, which also provides an excellent opportunity for Chinese sellers to explore the Israeli market.

With the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce platforms and localized sales channels, "how to efficiently ship goods to Israel" has become the focus of many sellers. Especially for large-sized and electrical small kitchen appliances, it is particularly important to choose a stable, cost-effective and worry-free sea freight.

So - how is the sea freight price of small kitchen appliances to Israel calculated?

1. Composition of the first-leg cost of Israel ocean shipping

The first-leg of Israel ocean shipping, that is, the logistics route from China to the destination port in Israel by sea, usually includes the following parts:

✅First-leg freight

The first-leg freight is the most core item of the entire logistics cost, which depends on the mode of transportation and the characteristics of the goods:

Full container load (FCL): suitable for large-volume shipments, charged according to container specifications (such as 20GP, 40HQ), with overall low costs, suitable for large sellers with stable sales.

Less-than-container load (LCL): suitable for small-volume or trial sellers, charged according to the volume of goods (cubic meters CBM), with high flexibility, suitable for multi-SKU product combination shipment.

✅Port charges

Mainly include loading and unloading charges at the Chinese port of departure, terminal operation fees, and miscellaneous charges at the destination port in Israel, port demurrage, etc. If you choose the double-clearance tax package service, these costs will be included in the total price, and the seller does not need to worry about it separately.

✅Customs clearance service fee

Israel has certain requirements for the import of electrical products, and some products need to provide compliance certification. U-Speed provides professional customs clearance services for sellers, supports the double-clearance-to-door (DDU) model, covers all processes such as customs declaration, tax payment, and document review, and sellers do not need to participate in the tedious local customs clearance process.

✅Additional fees

If the product is sensitive goods (such as small household appliances with electricity) or pure battery products, additional security inspection, sorting or declaration fees may be incurred. U-Speed has the qualifications and experience to handle sensitive goods and can provide a one-stop solution.

3. Analysis of the composition of overseas warehouse costs for drop shipping

In addition to the first-leg transportation, many sellers also consider storing small appliances in Israeli overseas warehouses in advance to achieve local spot delivery and drop shipping, further shortening the delivery time and improving user experience.

The cost of drop shipping is mainly composed of the following aspects:

✅Warehousing costs

Charged according to inventory volume or occupied area, and settled monthly. The volume of small kitchen appliances is not small, so a warehouse with transparent costs and reasonable space planning is very important.

Includes operational costs such as warehousing, picking, labeling, and packaging, usually charged by piece. U-Speed Israel warehouse provides standardized operating procedures, which are efficient, clear, and have a low error rate.
