Frequently Asked Questions — Israel Customers
Do you ship steel products to Israel and which ports do you use?
Yes, we regularly supply steel products to customers across Israel. We ship mainly to Ashdod Port and Haifa Port, with transit time of approximately 22–28 days from Shanghai or Ningbo. We can offer FOB, CFR, CIF, or DAP terms depending on your preference. For smaller orders, LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping is also available.
What steel standards and grades do you offer for the Israeli market?
We supply steel products in EN European standards (most commonly requested in Israel), as well as ASTM, JIS, and GB standards. Popular grades include S235JR, S355JR for carbon steel and 304 / 316L for stainless steel. All shipments come with full Mill Test Certificates (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 standard. Third-party inspection by SGS or Bureau Veritas is available upon request.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for shipping to Israel?
Our standard MOQ is 1 ton for in-stock products, and we accept mixed sizes in one order. For full container loads (20ft or 40ft), we can offer better per-ton pricing. Trial orders and sample quantities are welcome for new customers. Custom fabrication orders may have a higher MOQ depending on the complexity of processing.
How long does delivery take from China to Israel?
For standard stock products: 7–15 days to prepare + 22–28 days ocean freight = approximately 30–45 days total. For custom-sized or processed orders: add 1–2 weeks for production. Express air freight is available for urgent small orders (3–7 days). We always confirm the exact lead time before you place an order, and provide tracking information once the shipment is on the water.
Can you provide SII certification or documentation for Israeli import?
While we are not directly SII (Standards Institution of Israel) certified, we supply products that meet EN and ASTM standards widely accepted in Israel. We provide comprehensive documentation including Mill Test Certificates (MTC/MTR), commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin — all documents typically required for Israeli customs clearance. Many of our Israeli customers use our EN-compliant materials successfully in construction and industrial projects. If you require specific additional documentation, let us know and we'll work with you to provide it.
