The Minister of Communications signed a new amendment yesterday (Wednesday), which is a further significant facilitation of the commercial and private import process of gadgets and technological products from abroad. For significant disturbances and the extent of the damage that can be caused by not checking them – small.
Products that will receive a general exemption for commercial and personal imports: All types of cameras except security cameras and baby monitors. Among the cameras that will receive full exemption you can find cameras for skimmers, bicycles, and motorcycles, professional cameras and more.
Products that will be exempt from personal import: Smart home circuit breakers for solar water heaters, smart lighting, shutters, electric gates, doors, smart scales that contain a wireless and remotely controlled component, toy vehicles on wheels with remote control such as cars on remote control, trucks on remote control, tractors on Sign, bulldozers on sign and more.
It should be noted that these products will require approval for commercial import. Products that were not actually available in commercial import and will henceforth be allowed in import subject to approval: products that operate on Wi-Fi 6E technology such as routers, access points, network cards and more. A wide range of wireless chargers. Additional types of industrial detectors. Additional types of magnetic gates for security testing. A variety of products that use LORA technology used in smart cities.
In addition, the ministry is currently launching a hearing designed to significantly facilitate the commercial import of additional products, including those with a European standard mark. The move significantly reduces the bureaucratic procedure of importers who will be required to produce a compliance document with European standards and a document detailing only the wireless features of the device.
If the device can be imported into the EU, it could be imported into Israel. This move is expected to affect thousands of commercial importers and significantly facilitate their import process. In addition, many additional frequency bands will be allocated for public use, gadgets and other technological products in both personal and commercial imports.
