The Tax Authority reported last week that Israel's Customs and VAT Directorate successfully applied, on July 15th, a new and strengthened export control system.
 
The new system which replaces the 25 years old export system was developed on highly advanced computerized system which puts Israel among the most advanced nations applying sophisticated export control system.
 
Doron Arbeli, head of the Customs Directorate, said in a press release that  the new export system is based on the recognition that effective export control is needed to combat the proliferation of systems and technologies which can be used by adversaries to threaten the security of the free world.
 
The old Israeli export control system did not effectively meet Israel's national and economic security needs.
 
Arbeli added that over the last few years the Customs Directorate as well as other governmental bodies identified numerous instances of inefficiency and ineffectiveness in Israel's export control system, including poor strategic management, insufficient interagency
Co-ordination, shortages of manpower, short-term fixes for long-term problems, and inadequate information systems.
 
In order to address these shortcomings, and at the same time making the necessary response to the challenges of globalization in the 21st century, a decision was made to set up an entirely new and highly effective export control system.
 
Israel's Customs and VAT Directorate process some 700,000  export declarations, representing exports valued at US$36 billion (excluding diamonds).
 
The system was developed by The Malam Group, one of Israel's top IT service provider, provides a variety of end-to-end IT solutions in cooperation with the national federation of customs brokers, exporters as well as government agencies.
