Have you checked the prices to pay IRS? From experience, my brother
bought a smart phone and he had to pay "meches". Also it needed
approval of "misrad hatikshoret". IRS asked quite a lot for it.
At the price of US$369, then add 17% and convert to shekelim:
http://www.google.com/search?q=(369*117%2F100)%20usd%20in%20shekels
((369 * 117) / 100) * U.S. dollar = 1 381.40781 Israeli shekels
why 17%? where does that number come from?
According to http://62.219.95.10/misimmeruk/taxesconc.aspx the number
should be 32.8%, of which 15.5% is VAT and 15% is import tax. As a
business, you can claim the VAT part back through the usual means.
Anyways, as has been mentioned before, importing a phone into israel is
much more difficult than paying the tax for it. Check out
