Doing a steel project in Israel

Israel is in Western Asia. The capital is Jerusalem. Local currency: Israeli new shekel (ILS).

Vietnam and Israel are both parties to VIFTA, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Israel, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
