Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Customs Ordinance to prevent the destruction of goods stored in customs warehouses. Instead of destruction, the Director of Customs will be able to transfer goods (especially agricultural produce) to the social services of local authorities for distribution to the needy, or sell them at a set price and use the proceeds for those purposes. Under the proposal, the Director of Customs must act to transfer or sell such goods before any destruction.
