Used them with Sworders. They did a good job packing a large fragile item both securely but also efficiently. They were able to saved me some money because they packed the item safely but also didn't overdo it with excessive, heavy packaging like some other shippers do. They did a solid job all around...

PACK & SEND’s 30 years of experience shipping across Europe and the world to destinations like Italy have enabled us to be experts in navigating international customs. We are familiar with the restrictions that apply within each country and can advise you appropriately from collection all the way to delivery.
Every nation has unique regulations when it comes to imports. In addition to the EU regulations, Italy has its own rules, which may differ from other member states.
Whatever it is you’re looking to send, it’s important to understand exactly what can be imported and which items are prohibited. Always check restricted items and size or quantity allowances before sending, as prohibited items will be destroyed or returned to you.
For example, restrictions include ‘up to 10kg of meat or dairy products’ or ‘up to 1 litre of spirits’ (over 22% alcohol vol). Counterfeit goods and prescription or illegal drugs are also banned. Be sure to look at the full list of prohibited and restricted products before sending.
When sending parcels to Italy, be aware of its import regulations, as well as those for countries in the European Union.
Parcels entering Europe from the UK are subject to additional customs and duty fees, charged to the recipient. UK-based senders need to complete a commercial invoice to get their parcels through customs, too. This is so Customs Officials can tell whether imported items should be subject to import duties and if so, how much they need to charge.
Find out everything you need to know before shipping to Europe on our dedicated page. At PACK & SEND, we’re always happy to chat through the right approach for your package.
Personal effects and items intended as gifts are not subject to customs charges, provided they follow Italy’s import guidelines. However, to make sure you qualify for the Customs Duty and VAT-free allowance, follow the shipping instructions laid out by the UK government.
Some common mistakes include:
PACK & SEND boasts years of experience meeting Europe’s regional customs rules. Work with us to make sure your parcel meets all the regulations, avoids delays and arrives safely and on time.
Addressing parcels and letters to Italy is slightly different to how we structure our local addresses.
Surnames appear before the first name in the first line of the address, house numbers follow street names on the second line and postcodes follow the town name on the third line. A two-letter province code also appears on the third line.
For example:
Rossi Mario
via Valcava 23
20155 Milano MI
ITALY
