Port Overview

ILTAV · TEL AVIV · Israel · Eastern Mediterranean

ILTAV identifies Tel Aviv in Israel and serves the commercial area around Tel Aviv-Yafo. For international freight, the code should not automatically be treated as confirmation of a container terminal, berth or cargo-gate location. Tel Aviv is an urban coastal logistics market, while the actual sea terminal, discharge point and inland delivery arrangement may vary by carrier, service string and cargo type. Our service team verifies the operational terminal before quotation, booking and document issuance, particularly when the buyer specifies ILTAV as the destination code.

UN/LOCODE	ILTAV

City	Tel Aviv-Yafo
Logistics profile	Coastal urban destination; terminal and inland delivery point require shipment-specific confirmation

Key Highlights

Code accuracy matters

ILTAV is the requested destination code, but the commercial invoice, bill of lading and delivery order should reflect the confirmed terminal and final delivery location.

Terminal confirmation first

Container cargo may be routed through an Israeli container gateway rather than an urban waterfront location. Our team confirms the carrier-approved routing before booking.

Road-led inland delivery

Tel Aviv-Yafo and the surrounding metropolitan area are primarily served by truck. Appointment, vehicle access and delivery-site restrictions can affect the final leg.

Security and customs sensitivity

Advance, consistent cargo data is important for security screening, customs processing and inspection handling.

Facilities & Services

Container handling: Our team arranges FCL or LCL service against the confirmed ocean terminal; terminal acceptance, receiving windows and equipment availability are checked per sailing.
LCL consolidation: Consolidated cargo is planned through the selected origin consolidation warehouse and the carrier or co-loader’s Israeli deconsolidation arrangement, not solely by the UN/LOCODE.
Customs and inspection coordination: Commercial documents, packing details and product information are reviewed before arrival so that customs queries or physical inspection can be handled without avoidable amendments.
Road delivery: Final delivery is normally coordinated by truck to the consignee, warehouse or appointed broker. Urban access, delivery appointments, unloading equipment and waiting-time exposure should be confirmed in advance.
Special cargo: Dangerous goods, temperature-controlled cargo, oversized units and cargo requiring special handling are accepted only subject to carrier, terminal and regulatory approval.

Routes & Transit Times

Asia–Israel: Cargo from China and other Asian origins is commonly planned through the carrier’s available Mediterranean service structure, with possible transshipment depending on the booking and sailing schedule.
Europe–Israel: European cargo may move by short-sea, feeder or mainline connection according to origin, equipment and the confirmed Israeli gateway.
Transit-time planning: Published transit time is only an ocean estimate. Transshipment connection, port congestion, security procedures, customs inspection, equipment release and inland appointment availability can change the final delivery date.
Booking control: Our service team provides the applicable routing and estimated schedule after checking the origin, cargo profile, terminal, carrier acceptance and delivery address; no fixed transit promise is made from the destination code alone.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

The primary delivery market is Tel Aviv-Yafo and the wider central Israel metropolitan corridor. The final inland point, rather than the city name alone, determines trucking distance, appointment requirements and delivery cost.

Typical import cargo

Consumer goods, retail merchandise, machinery, electrical products, industrial components and packaged commercial cargo are commonly planned for the central-market hinterland.

Export and replenishment cargo

Manufactured products, technology-related goods, agricultural and food-related cargo may require commodity-specific documentation, packaging or regulatory review.

Delivery geography

Tel Aviv-Yafo, nearby commercial districts, distribution centers and industrial areas can each have different truck access and unloading conditions.

Cargo qualification

Food, chemicals, batteries, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other regulated products should be identified before quotation so the required approvals can be assessed.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off management: Booking cut-off, cargo receiving, VGM submission, shipping-instruction deadline and dangerous-goods documentation deadlines are sailing-specific. Our team confirms the carrier’s written deadlines rather than relying on a standard timetable.
Accurate cargo description: The bill of lading description, HS classification, package count, gross weight, marks and consignee details should match the commercial invoice and packing list. Generic descriptions can trigger clarification or inspection.
Dangerous goods: UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, SDS and declaration must be supplied before booking. Acceptance is subject to the carrier and the confirmed terminal.
Customs and inspections: Customs queries, documentary checks and physical examinations can extend release time and generate handling or storage exposure. The importer or appointed customs broker should be ready with permits, product evidence and authorization.

Operational control: Do not print ILTAV as the sole cargo-location instruction until the carrier confirms the actual port or terminal, the inland delivery term and the responsible Israeli customs broker.

Shipping Tips

Send the full shipping brief early: origin, Incoterm, commodity, HS code, package dimensions, gross weight, container type, consignee details and final delivery address.
For LCL, provide outer dimensions and stackability information accurately. Our team uses these details to select consolidation handling and reduce re-measurement or repacking risk.
For FCL, confirm equipment type, seal requirements, VGM responsibility and whether the consignee has a suitable truck-accessible unloading location.
If the requested destination is specifically ILTAV, ask our service team to compare the confirmed Israeli gateway, inland trucking plan, customs arrangement and total landed logistics cost before selecting the routing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ILTAV the same as a confirmed container terminal?

No. ILTAV is the supplied Tel Aviv UN/LOCODE. The actual container terminal, discharge port and inland delivery point must be confirmed from the carrier’s booking information.

Can our bill of lading show Tel Aviv as the destination?

It may be possible depending on the carrier service and documentation rules. Our team checks whether the booking should show ILTAV, a specific Israeli port, or a place-of-delivery arrangement before the shipping instruction is finalized.

What information is needed for a Tel Aviv-area delivery quote?

Provide the final address, cargo type, packages, dimensions, weight, delivery equipment requirements, unloading conditions and customs-broker details. A city-only address is not sufficient for a reliable door-delivery assessment.

How should dangerous goods be booked?

Send the SDS and complete dangerous-goods data before space confirmation. Carrier and terminal acceptance must be obtained before cargo delivery, and the shipper remains responsible for compliant packing and declaration.

Can the delivery date be guaranteed from the sailing schedule?

No. The sailing schedule is an estimate. Transshipment, terminal operations, customs, inspection, security procedures and trucking appointments may affect the final release and delivery date.

Official verification scope: Israeli customs procedures, import controls and regulatory requirements should be checked with the relevant government information published on gov.il.

Port and gateway verification: Port infrastructure, terminal operations and applicable port information should be confirmed through the Israeli ports sector source at ipc.co.il and the carrier’s current booking confirmation.

Boundary of the data: No unverified berth, draft, throughput, terminal-hour, carrier-frequency or transit-time figure is presented. Our service team confirms time-sensitive operational details against the live booking, terminal instructions and importer or broker requirements.
