Wholesale — Middle East
Wholesale Kids Clothes for Israel Buyers — Direct from Turkey
Israel is served by short-sea routes from Turkish ports — Mersin or Ambarlı to Ashdod and Haifa in three to seven days — which makes it one of the fastest non-European markets in our network. A free trade agreement between Turkey and Israel provides preferential duty on qualifying originating apparel with an EUR.1 certificate, so landed cost compares well with Far East sourcing once freight and lead time are counted. Demand here is split between mainstream retail basics and a substantial modest-wear segment requiring longer sleeves, higher necklines and longer hemlines on girls' items, which we handle as standard pattern variations rather than custom development.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is there preferential duty for Turkish goods in Israel?+
Yes. The Turkey-Israel free trade agreement provides preferential rates on qualifying originating apparel when shipped with an EUR.1 certificate, which we issue with the order.
How fast is sea freight from Turkey to Israel?+
Three to seven days port to port depending on the service, plus clearance. Air express to Tel Aviv is one to two days.
Can you produce modest-wear variations?+
Yes — longer sleeves, higher necklines and longer hemlines on girls' dresses and sets are standard pattern options rather than custom development, so they carry no surcharge.
What is the minimum shipment size?+
There is no container minimum on this lane; LCL groupage makes one or two pallets economical, so the 300 piece order minimum is the real constraint.
Do you supply Hebrew labelling?+
Yes, care and composition labels can be printed in Hebrew alongside English.
