The Swedish Port Workers Union says it supported the international aid convoy and demands that Israel lift its blockade on Gaza.
Israel recently eased the 3-year-old blockade under international pressure.
Some 1,500 union members are taking part in the weeklong boycott that began Wednesday.
Union spokesman Bjorn Borg says stevedores in the southwestern port of Goteborg have refused to handle about a dozen containers containing cargo from Israel or goods destined for it.
Several Swedish activists were on the flotilla when Israel attacked it May 31.
