Customs, duties & documents for Italy

As an EU member, Italy charges import VAT on goods from outside the EU, and customs duty may apply depending on the item and value. Gifts and purchases are both assessed — a clear description and honest value on the invoice keeps clearance quick. Italian customs may ask the receiver for a tax code (codice fiscale) to clear the parcel.

From India, every export needs the sender's KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, voter ID or driving licence) and an invoice listing each item and its value — we prepare it with you. Documents and certificates travel flat in secure envelopes. Never sent: perfumes, power banks, loose batteries, gold and cash (full list).
