The number of private vehicles imported to Israel during the first half of 2021 increased by 51.2 percent year on year, according to a report issued by the Israel Tax Authority.
About 128,671 vehicles were imported to Israel during January-June this year, more than 85,075 vehicles in the same period of 2020.
The significant increase is due to increased imports of vehicles in June this year, and also low imports in June 2020, after an emergency clearing of warehouses in ports for essential goods due to the coronavirus crisis.
In June alone, there was a 66.9-percent growth in private vehicle imports to the country, from 16,439 in June 2020 to 27,443 last month.
