importing Hikvision and Dahua security cameras from Israel to Larnaca Cyprus

Customs & Import Regulations

Cyprus Customs Requirements

Cyprus applies a customs regime based on the Harmonized System (HS) codes, with distinct tariff rates depending on product classification. Additionally, a 19% VAT is levied on most imports. סחר.gov

Documentation Needed

To import from Israel (a non-EU country), you’ll typically need:

  • Delivery Order

  • Commercial Invoice

  • Packing List

Additional documentation may be required depending on the product (e.g., technical compliance, CE marking).  WWW.COM4TECH.CO.IL

There’s no specific indication that security cameras (surveillance devices) are prohibited. However, devices with wireless or communication features may sometimes be subject to additional oversight. It’s best to verify via official customs sources.


Practical Import Considerations
