2025-04-11

With the rapid development of the Middle East market, Israel has gradually become one of the important destinations for cross-border sellers. Whether it is 3C digital products, household goods, wig accessories or clothing accessories, Chinese products are becoming more and more popular in the Israeli market with their high cost performance. For most Chinese sellers, how to send goods to Israel quickly, efficiently and legally has become the first step to land in the market.

 

Among them, the sea freight double clearance to door service (DDU) is becoming a mainstream logistics choice due to its cost advantages and wide application range. So, how much does it cost to export a batch of goods from China to Israel? How long will it take to deliver? How to choose a reliable logistics service provider?

 

How to calculate the cost of sea freight double clearance to door in Israel?

 

The shipping cost of exporting to Israel is not a unified price, but consists of multiple links, mainly including the following items:

 

1. First-leg freight

 

The first-leg fee is the main cost of transporting goods from Chinese ports to Israeli ports, which depends on the volume, transportation method and route:

 

Full container load (FCL): suitable for bulk goods, such as a 20GP or 40HQ container, usually charged by container specifications, with the lowest unit cost.

 

Less than container load (LCL): suitable for small and medium-sized batch shipments, charged by cubic meter (CBM), flexible and convenient, suitable for multiple categories or test market stages.

 

2. Port and loading and unloading fees

 

Includes loading and unloading fees at the port of departure (such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo, etc.), loading and unloading fees, and basic port charges at the port of destination (such as Haifa Port or Ashdod Port in Israel).

 

3. Customs clearance service fee

 

The customs clearance process in Israel is relatively complicated, involving SII certification, import declaration, customs inspection and other links. Choosing a logistics provider with professional customs clearance services can save time and labor costs. U-Speed provides one-stop customs clearance agency + double clearance to door (DDU) service, without sellers having to deal with tedious customs clearance issues on their own.

 

4. Delivery fee

5. Additional fees (if applicable)

 

Sensitive goods surcharge: such as batteries, chemicals, electronic products, etc.;

Pure battery goods surcharge: involving dangerous goods channel declaration and inspection;

Peak season surcharge: such as "Black Friday" and "Christmas", there may be a certain premium.
