Requirements and considerations for sending to Italy
Do I need to declare customs when sending from Spain to Italy?
No. Since Italy is part of the European Union, no customs procedures or duties are required when receiving packages from Spain. This means you can send your products or documents as if it were a domestic shipment.
But there are some important considerations you should keep in mind:
Prohibited products:
As in any country, it is prohibited to send flammable items, weapons, unauthorized medications, high-value jewelry without prior agreement, or hazardous materials.
Sensitive dates:
During Ferragosto (around August 15th), many Italian companies close for vacation. This can affect business deliveries and cause delays of several days. Our team of experts can help you plan your shipments during these dates to avoid delays.
Remote areas or islands:
Shipments to Sicily, Sardinia, or rural areas may require an extra 24 hours. In such cases, we would inform you properly before making the shipment.
Special products:
For shipments of wine, oil, art, or mechanical parts, MBE offers personalized advice and specific packaging and insurance services.
With MBE, you ensure that everything is properly prepared for your shipment to arrive at its destination without surprises.
