For HS 070310 (fresh/chilled onions and shallots) from India to Israel, the import duty into Israel is 0.0% MFN based on the live trade context provided.

On the India side, the main exporter benefit is RoDTEP at 1.4% of FOB.

Duty

• Israel import duty: 0.0% MFN
• India export incentive: RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the usual core set is:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Phytosanitary Certificate
• Essential for fresh onions/shallots because Israel will expect plant health compliance
• Fumigation Certificate
• Often requested for fresh produce shipments, especially if packing material is wood or if the buyer/specification asks for it
• Inspection/Quality Certificate
• Helpful to confirm grade, size, moisture, and condition
• Import permit / buyer-side regulatory clearance
• In Israel, agricultural produce may be subject to Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security controls depending on product and season
• Insurance certificate if under CIF/CIP or buyer requires it

India-side compliance

To export from India, you will generally need:

• IEC
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Shipment filing through ICEGATE via your customs broker

Practical benefit for this route

Because Israel’s applied duty is nil, this is a commercially attractive route for Indian onion exporters. Your real advantage will come from:

• competitive FOB pricing,
• good post-harvest handling,
• compliance with Israeli agricultural import rules,
• and claiming RoDTEP 1.4% where eligible.

Important note

For onions and shallots, the biggest risk is usually not tariff but phytosanitary compliance and quality rejection. Make sure:

• bulbs are mature and properly cured,
• packing is ventilated,
• moisture and spoilage are controlled,
• labels match the buyer’s specification,
• and the consignee has checked any current Israeli import restrictions for fresh produce.
