iHerb Israel Shipping Methods: Options, Prices, and Our Team’s Advice
iHerb ships orders to Israel from the USA via air freight. Local delivery is handled by partner companies (Exelot, Gaash, Orian) or the international service DHL. Here are the main options:
- Global Air Locker with Tracking (Delivery to a Pickup Point/Locker): The most popular option due to the possibility of free shipping for orders over 225 ₪. The parcel will be delivered to your selected locker or pickup point. The maximum order value is $450 USD, and the weight limit is 4 kg.
- Global Air Home Delivery with Tracking (Home Delivery): A courier delivers the parcel directly to your door. For orders over 225 ₪, the cost for this service is a flat 9.90 ₪. Limits: $450 USD and 5 kg.
- DHL Express: The fastest delivery method, but also the most expensive. The cost is calculated based on weight. The weight limit is 15 kg.
Locker Delivery Warning & Recommendation: iHerb warns (yellow message in cart) that your selected locker location might change post-order due to network issues. This is a real problem: our colleague in Israel frequently receives packages at different lockers, sometimes across town or even in another city! To avoid this hassle, we strongly recommend choosing Home Delivery. On our test order, it cost just 9.90 ₪ extra compared to free locker delivery. We believe this small fee is worthwhile for guaranteed delivery to your door.

How long does it take to receive an iHerb order in Israel?
Standard delivery times for Global Air (Locker and Home) are approximately 12-22 days. DHL Express usually delivers faster, in 6-16 days. These timeframes are based on our order placed on April 6, 2025 (expected dates were April 18-28 for Global Air and April 12-22 for DHL). It’s important to remember that these are estimated times; delays can occur due to customs or logistics.
iHerb Israel Free Shipping: Conditions
Free shipping to Israel is available when selecting the Global Air Locker option (delivery to a pickup point) for orders totaling 225 ₪ or more.
Taxes and Customs Duties: The DDP System
Customs clearance and taxes are an important aspect of international orders. Israel has a duty-free import threshold of $75 USD.
A key advantage of iHerb for Israel is the use of the DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) system. This means that all applicable taxes and customs fees are already included in the final order total at checkout. Even if your order exceeds $75 USD, you will not have to pay anything extra upon delivery. Our screenshot shows that Duties & Taxes are prepaid, although the amount was 0.00 ₪ because our specific order was below the $75 threshold.
It’s worth noting the 72-hour rule: if multiple parcels for the same recipient arrive at customs within this timeframe, their values may be combined for tax assessment purposes (which, remember, will already be prepaid at checkout).
What can and can’t be ordered from iHerb to Israel?
Before ordering, it’s important to be aware of Israel’s customs restrictions on the import of certain goods and quantities.
Categories requiring special attention or permits include: seeds, green tea, jerky, eye drops, rice, nuts, baby formula, and medicaments. Additionally, there are quantity limits for personal import:
Quantity Restrictions per Order
| Restriction | Limit per Order (for personal use) |
|---|---|
| Identical items | Maximum 5 units of the same item |
| Supplements (total) | Maximum 15 units of different supplements |
| Single food item (weight) | Maximum 5 kg |
| Total weight of food products | Maximum 15 kg per shipment |
We recommend strictly adhering to these limits and avoiding ordering items from prohibited or restricted categories to prevent issues and delays at customs.
In summary: ordering from iHerb to Israel is convenient thanks to the DDP prepaid tax system. The main points to pay attention to are choosing the optimal shipping method (considering the nuances with lockers), adhering to quantity restrictions, and being aware of the $75 threshold (although you won’t have to pay extra). We hope this information helps you place your orders confidently.
