In addition, the Standards Institute of Israel conducts tests on imports, which has resulted in many import checks, long waiting periods for standard import permits, and high test costs. | False | 2019-10-15 | Israel | #NA | #NA | #NA | Israel | 2020-12-18T00:28:30.705347Z | 2019-10-15T09:05:08.801016Z | ||
