Until very recently, anything purchased outside of Israel and cost more than 200$, had to be declared at customs, and the tax was very high.

Many Israelis used to evade the declaration.
“MORE LOST THAN GAINED” is the frustrated conclusion of one of four people who confess to the camera how they smuggled their own home-video cameras to Israel, revealing their reasons, their fears and their feelings, ranging from guilt to elated victory.
“You don't smuggle just in order to save money, but as an act of protest”
