Israel is famous not only for its legendary history, weapons and intelligence, but also for its border service with its high standards of security screening. There are quite strict restrictions on the import and export of alcoholic beverages across the border of the State of Israel.
How many liters of alcohol can you bring to Israel?
The Customs Service of the State of Israel is a structural unit of the Israel Tax Administration, which is a division of the Ministry of Finance. Israel, renowned for its high security standards, pays special attention to customs control.
There are many restrictions on the import of alcoholic beverages into this country. If alcohol is carried in baggage, the restrictions apply to duty-free and free entry. Strong alcoholic drinks, the strength of which exceeds 22 degrees, are transported in a total volume of no more than 1 liter per person over 18 years of age. Low alcohol drinks, the strength of which is less than 22 degrees, including wine and beer - no more than 2 liters per person over 18 years of age. If alcohol was bought in Duty Free stores, then they must be packed in plastic bags with a fastener and sealed in the store itself on the territory of the airport.
According to the customs rules of the State of Israel, passengers are exempt from paying duties on alcohol in the following volume: 1 liter of strong alcohol (persons over 18 years old): 2 liters of low alcohol drinks (persons over 18 years old).
How many liters of alcohol can you take out of Israel?
According to the established international rules, restrictions on the export of alcohol are not established by the state, the territory of which the tourist leaves. We can say that the Israeli customs service does not regulate the amount of alcohol exported from the country if it is carried in baggage.
If alcohol is exported from Israel, for example, then the import of strong alcohol with a total volume of not more than 2 liters for persons who have reached the age of 18 is allowed to the territory of the Russian Federation.
Restrictions apply to the export of alcohol from Duty Free shops. All alcohol should be wrapped in a transparent bag with a zipper and sealed at the store. The state where the tourist is staying should establish restrictions on the import of foreign alcoholic beverages into its territory.
