Important:

Please check your country of origin’s customs regulations regarding returning with the model boxes from Israel.

Before leaving, don’t forget to inform your local Customs Authority that you will be coming back with the boxes.

Israeli Customs clearance:

After collecting the boxes and your luggage, you will need to pass through the Red Line at Customs, and give them the specific forms needed .

Before leaving your country, you will usually be required to fill out certain forms like the Carnet Form, declaring that these are your models and that you will be returning with them.

For your convenience, we will publish the specific forms at a later stage.

Update on the procedure will be issued later on.

 

2. If you want to send your boxes separately and independently:

We will publish the address and recipient information for where to send your boxes to in Israel.

In addition to your local customs requirements, you will need to fill out a special form which you can download from our Website and attach to the shipment as the invoice.
(The form will be available later on)

After arrival at the Israeli Port, the boxes need to be cleared by customs, released, and then picked up from the airport warehouse to be taken to the Competition Site.
(We can pick them up for you at a reasonable extra charge)

If you send boxes by a shipper of your own choice, please make sure that they can also take care of the customs release procedure in Israel, and transportation of the boxes to the site.

Your shipper may also contact us and we will arrange to pick the boxes up from them and deliver them to the site.

If you wish, you can use our local customs clearance company who will take care of the boxes immediately after they land in Israel, and deliver them to the site.

Update on the procedure will be issued later on.
