Are there restrictions on exports to Israel?
U.S. exporters to Israel must follow standard U.S. Government requirements regarding export control documentation for sensitive U.S. exports. For information on this subject contact the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security, Internet web site: http://www.bis.doc.gov/8 or the trade information centerat 1-800-872-8728. Although Israel is not a signatory to the Wassenaar Arrangement, it has adopted the Wasennar list of dual-use items subject to control. As of January 1, 2007, the Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor is responsible for the administration of Israel’s dual-use export control system. However, it lacks sufficient trained personnel to shoulder this responsibility completely and continues to rely on staff work of the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry of Defense has established a new division to deal exclusively with the export controls of defense items. U.S. export licenses are required for exports to Israel of certain high technology, defense related equipment and technologies and weapons for chemical and biological warfare. U.S. exporters should ensure that they are in compliance with the export control regulations as administered through the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry & Security and U.S. Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls.
