Customs and import context
Customs authority and filings
Imports are cleared by Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM). The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.
- Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.
Import taxes to expect by name: import VAT (IVA) and any customs duty. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.
Italy is in the EU customs union: goods are cleared once under the Union Customs Code and can then move within the single market.
Languages and documents
Official or main business languages: Italian. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.
Local-language port names on file (confirm spelling on your documents): Genoa: Porto di Genova; Gioia Tauro: Porto di Gioia Tauro; La Spezia: Porto della Spezia; Livorno: Porto di Livorno; Trieste: Porto di Trieste.
