Israeli Aliyah Customs Shipment Planner
Verified92/100Plan the 3-shipment customs exemption for new olim to Israel: classify belongings against per-family caps (3 TVs, 3 computers, 5 phones, 25% carpet area, one of each appliance), split inventory across 3 shipments within the 3-year window from teudat oleh, and draft per-shipment customs declarations. Use when a user asks about olim shipping rights, lift planning, how many TVs can I bring, meches olim, or teudat oleh customs benefits. Do NOT use for general aliyah absorption questions (sal klita, ulpan, Misrad HaKlita) - use israeli-aliyah-navigator instead.

The Problem
New olim (immigrants) to Israel are entitled to three duty-free shipments of household goods within three years of aliyah, but the rules are riddled with per-family caps (TVs, computers, cell phones, appliances, carpeting) and a six-year retention rule that blocks resale. Most olim pack by emotion, then discover at the port that a third computer or a fourth appliance triggers full duty plus VAT plus purchase tax. This skill plans the split across three shipments, flags over-limit items before packing, and drafts a clean declaration per shipment.
