How to Get Free Shipping from Amazon to Israel (2026 Guide)

Ordering from Amazon to Israel doesn't have to cost a fortune in shipping. Here's everything you need to know about getting your packages delivered affordably — or even free.

Which Amazon Sites Ship to Israel?

Amazon US (amazon.com), Amazon UK (amazon.co.uk), and Amazon DE (amazon.de) all ship directly to Israel. Amazon US has the widest selection of items eligible for international shipping. Amazon UK and DE are closer geographically, which sometimes means faster delivery.

Free Shipping Thresholds

Amazon Site	Free Shipping Minimum	Typical Delivery
Amazon US	$49+ (select items)	7-14 business days
Amazon UK	£25+ (select items)	5-10 business days
Amazon DE	€29+ (select items)	5-10 business days

💡 Pro tip: Look for items marked "International Shipping Eligible" and "Ships to Israel." Not everything qualifies, but electronics, books, and clothing usually do.

Amazon Global Store vs Direct Shipping

Some items on Amazon are sold through the "Global Store" — these calculate all import duties and taxes at checkout, so there are no surprises at delivery. Direct shipping items may incur customs fees upon arrival. Global Store is generally the safer choice for expensive items.

How to Filter for Free Shipping

On Amazon US, use the left sidebar to check "Free International Shipping" under the delivery options. You can also add "&rh=p_n_free_shipping_eligible%3A1" to any search URL to filter automatically.

💡 Strategy: Bundle smaller items together to meet the free shipping threshold. If you're buying a $30 item, add a small accessory to push past $49.

Amazon Prime and Israel

Amazon Prime US membership gives you access to Prime Video and some shipping benefits, but unlimited free 2-day shipping doesn't apply to Israel. However, Prime members do get reduced international shipping rates on eligible items.

Customs and Import Tax

Israel charges 17% VAT (מע"מ) on most imports. For personal imports under 75 USD (as of 2026), you may be exempt from customs duty, though VAT still applies on orders above the threshold. Always check the latest Israel Customs Authority guidelines.

⚠️ Note: Tax-free thresholds change periodically. The Israel Tax Authority has been adjusting import duty exemptions. Check the latest rules before ordering.

Best Categories to Order from Amazon to Israel

Electronics, books, clothing, and beauty products tend to have the best international shipping options. Heavy or bulky items (furniture, large appliances) usually aren't cost-effective to ship internationally.
