Why Accurate Shipment Information Matters
Before dispatch, it's important to clearly describe what is being sent and why it is being shipped. Personal belongings, gifts, purchased goods, documents and commercial samples may each require different documentation or customs review depending on the shipment.
A clear description, complete recipient details and supporting documents (where applicable) help the shipment move through transport and customs procedures more efficiently.

Prepare Shipment Information for Italy
Providing complete and accurate shipment information helps customs authorities and courier partners review your parcel correctly.

Customs declarations are the official record used for goods entering EU customs territory.

Provide full names, phone numbers, complete addresses and the correct Italian postcode.
Item Description
Mention the product name, material, intended use and item condition where applicable.
Quantity & Units

Country of Origin

Invoice Type

Tariff Classification
Commercial shipments may require an appropriate HS, CN or TARIC classification depending on the goods.
Supporting Documents
Certain controlled or regulated goods may require additional permits or supporting documentation before shipment.
โ ๏ธ Avoid General Item Descriptions
Descriptions such as “Gift”, “Sample”, “Parts”, “Food” or “Personal Items” alone may not provide enough information. Always use clear product descriptions to help support customs review.
How Import Charges May Apply in Italy
Italy's standard import VAT rate is 22% for many goods, while reduced VAT rates apply to certain eligible product categories. Import VAT is assessed separately from customs duty.
For higher-value shipments, customs duty may apply based on the product's TARIC/HS classification, customs value, origin and applicable import rules.
From 1 July 2026, qualifying distance-sale consignments up to โฌ150 may be subject to a temporary โฌ3 customs duty under EU rules, subject to the official scope and exceptions.
Import VAT, customs duty and any carrier administration or handling charges are separate assessments and should not be treated as one fixed amount for every shipment.
Important :ย The โฌ150 threshold does not mean a shipment is VAT-free. Import VAT and customs requirements may still apply depending on the shipment type, declared value and applicable EU regulations. Likewise, the temporary โฌ3 customs duty is intended for qualifying distance-sale consignments and does not automatically apply to every personal parcel.
