Notice to importers: imports from Israel into the United
Kingdom
Updated 22 August 2025
1) Operators are reminded that products produced in the Israeli
settlements located within the territories brought under Israeli
administration since June 1967 are not entitled to benefit from
preferential tariff treatment under the Trade and Partnership
Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the State of
Israel.
2) It is recalled that according to the arrangement between the
Israel and the United Kingdom for the implementation of Protocol
4 to the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement, all movement
certificates EUR.1 and invoice declarations issued or made out in
Israel, include, the postal code and the name of the city,
village or industrial zone where production conferring
originating status has taken place.
3) The same applies to all movement certificates EUR-MED and
invoice declarations EUR-MED that may be issued or made out in
Israel for export to the United Kingdom on the basis of Protocol
4 to the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement.
4) Operators intending to present documentary evidence of origin
with a view to securing preferential treatment for products
originating in Israel are informed that the preferential
treatment will be refused to the goods for which the proof of
origin indicates that the production conferring originating
status has taken place in a location within the territories
brought under Israeli administration since June 1967.
5) While the procedures in place allow for an adequate
application of the arrangement, the way it is implemented in the
United Kingdom should be streamlined in the light of experience.
For that purpose, importers are informed that the up-to-date list
of non-eligible locations and their postal codes is from now on
available on GOV.UK.
6) Operators are advised to consult the list regularly and at
least before lodging a customs declaration for releasing goods
for free circulation in support of which they intend to provide a
proof of preferential origin issued or made out in Israel.
