Israeli customs to apply new strengthened export control system

Israel's Customs and VAT Directorate announced it would apply a new and strengthened export control system on July 15th
 
The new control system will go into operation on July 15th.The new 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 present Israeli export control system does not effectively meet Israel's national and economic security needs.
 
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 interagencyCo-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.
