Do replacement items pay (double) tax in Israel?

[ranhan429]

I bought a GoPro in the US and I need to send it back from Israel since it is faulty (its still under warranty). I opened a case with GoPro and they are going to send me a replacement.

My question is, since they will send it back with a return slip (it's called an RMA) - indicating that its a replacement item will I still have to pay customs/VAT tax? I want a source... I called GoPro to ask and they told me that based on their experience in the past with people in Israel they were not charged VAT/taxes. But if course each country is different and I'd like a second creditable source to verify this.

In case anyone wants to know the answer it's no.

You have to fill out a form (either the courier will do it for you or via Israeli post u can do it urself) that states the item is leaving the country for repair and due to come back and should be exempt from tax.
