World Gate
World Gate is the new customs clearance system introduced by the Israel Tax Authority. The system is designed to promote better synchronization between all parties, including shipping companies and international entities. It is a cloud-based internet system that moves Israel’s customs towards a paperless environment.
The new system places responsibility and tasks on importers and exporters. In this system, documents will be submitted to customs by AllCargo as scanned and digitally signed media (original documents will only be submitted upon specific request by customs). Communication between customs brokers and customs will be fully computerized.
