Importing Wireless Tech & Frequency Rules
Due to frequency coordination and security rules, Israel implements strict regulations on personal wireless imports.
- Ministry of Communications (MoC) Permit: Devices transmitting radio frequencies (routers, strong baby monitors, walkie-talkies) require frequency authorization. DJI drones and routers imported directly are often held at customs. Buying locally from KSP is the safest option for these items.
- Storage & Accessories: SSDs, RAM, computer accessories, and smartwatches are exempt from communication licensing and are 100% safe to order directly from Amazon US.
For gadgets and PC accessories, always compare Amazon US and KSP to get the lowest prices and local warranty.
