Customs Clearance

Palestinian customs operates under the Paris Protocol (1994 economic agreement with Israel). Palestinian Authority applies same customs rates as Israel for most goods. ALL goods enter through Israeli-controlled crossings. West Bank imports via Israeli ports (Haifa/Ashdod); Gaza imports severely restricted through Kerem Abu Salem/Rafah. VAT at 16%.

Processing time3-30+ days
De minimisDe minimis threshold for PS: $0. Shipments valued below this amount are exempt from import duties.
What to actually expect

Extremely complex due to Israeli control of ALL borders. West Bank: goods transit through Israeli ports with significant delays and additional costs at checkpoints. Gaza: severe blockade restricts almost all imports, long waiting times, strict inspection, conflict periods halt all imports entirely. No direct international shipping to Palestinian territories. All express couriers route through Israel. Paris Protocol means Palestinian customs rates mirror Israeli ones, but PA has no control over border crossings. Clearance times completely unpredictable, can range from days to months.
