Check the Amount of Goods to Ship
Before starting your move to Israel, create an estimate for the volume you want to ship. Once you know the size of your move, you will have a better understanding of the accommodations needed. Each move is unique and knowing what you are actually moving will allow you to get through the process more quickly.
How Much Does Moving to Israel Cost
Once you have a estimate for the size of your move, the next step is to complete a quote request. Each particular move will have a different price due to factors such as volume or origin. For this reason our representatives create custom quotes for every move to make sure you get the most accurate information. To illustrate the difference, the price to move to Jerusalem may be different than the price to move to Tel Aviv even for the same goods.

Export Your Goods to Israel
Our door to door moving service makes it easy to export goods to Israel. We pick up the goods from anywhere in the US then pack and load them into a container. They will then ship once the container is ready to go. You will receive a Bill of Lading and message as the ship leaves which includes an ETA for the arrival into Israel.
Complete the Move Overseas
When arriving in Israel, your goods enter the custom clearance process. The main ports for importing goods in Israel are Ashdod and Haifa. For shipping household goods to Israel, we offer door to door services meaning you can choose anywhere in the country for us to deliver. Once they clear, they will be unloaded and a representative will contact you regarding the next steps. Your delivery will be scheduled as transit is secured and delivered to your door. After receiving your goods, all that’s left is to enjoy your time as an expat in Israel.
Israel Relocation Information
American Expats Moving to Israel
For many American expats emigrating to Israel is a long term goal. To people relocating there, Aliyah to Israel is a more than just a move because of the culture behind it. Some relocate here because they get a job opportunity, but that is somewhat less common. There are now established expat communities all over the country, so people moving there can acclimate more easily.
Making Aliyah
Making Aliyah is the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to Israel. Diaspora in this case is any land that the Jewish people have emigrated to. Moving to Israel from America is one of the biggest Aliyah countries as it has the largest Jewish population. The Law of Return allows Jewish people and their children the right to move to Israel with residency and citizenship in Israel on arrival.
Language in Israel
One of the main difficulties for American expats in Israel is the language barrier. Hebrew is the primary language, so it is best to have a good understanding before moving. While there are many expats in Israel who speak English, operating with locals will mostly require Hebrew.
