Amazon to Israel: outside the EU, find the cheapest store to ship after import fees
Unlike most of Europe, Israel sits outside the EU, so an Amazon order arrives as an import with the fees shown at checkout — which makes picking the cheapest starting store matter even more. Paste an Amazon link or search below and HotEUDeals compares the European stores that ship to Israel.
Good to know for Israel
- Currency
- Prices show in euros, or pounds on Amazon.co.uk, and your card converts them into shekels (₪, ILS), so watch for any foreign-exchange fee; the Import Fees Deposit at checkout covers Israeli VAT and customs.
- Language
- Amazon.de runs in German, Amazon.co.uk in English, Amazon.it in Italian and Amazon.es in Spanish, though Amazon.de can switch its interface to English, which makes it the easiest store to start with.
- Delivery
- As an AmazonGlobal import from outside the EU, a parcel from Amazon.de tends to reach Israel reasonably promptly, though the cross-border leg and the Import Fees Deposit handling can add a little time over a domestic order.
