From: UPU.EmIS Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 9:04 AM Subject: EmIS 1/2018 – Israel – Temporary suspension of inbound customs clearance

The designated operator of Israel, Israel Postal Company Ltd., asks us to inform the designated operators of other Union member countries that inbound customs clearance activities will be interrupted between 10 and 14 January 2018 as a result of the switchover to Shaar Olami (Global Gate), Israel’s next generation computerized customs clearance system.

Although delays are to be expected in the release of postal items, Israel Postal Company Ltd. will make every effort to limit the impact as much as possible.

Israel Postal Company Ltd. thanks designated operators for their understanding.
