In Italy, when Italians purchase items from the United States, they have access to higher-quality products, unique brands, and a broader range of items than they typically find in their local stores. However, not every U.S. site offers shipping to Italy, and those that do frequently have extremely high international shipping rates.
Shopping across the border is easy with Ship7, as they offer a free shipping address in the USA, secure package forwarding, package repacking, free storage, and discounted international shipping rates. By combining various purchases into a single shipment, Italian shoppers can save up to 80% on shipping and receive their purchases within days.
US retailers are attractive to shoppers because they have exclusive brands that aren't sold in Italy, and they're generally more competitive in terms of overall product selection and price. US shopping is even more intense during big sales days, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Prime Day. Buyers can still make a profit even when they have to pay for their packages to be shipped.
While ordering from the United States can be a great way to save money, there are a few things to keep in mind before you place your order.
Many retailers in the United States will only deliver within the United States, so customers in Italy won't be able to order directly.
If a store does ship internationally, the cost is usually high and particularly high for smaller orders.
When purchasing multiple items from various U.S. retailers, you typically have to pay an additional international shipping fee for every purchase.
Oversized boxes are commonly used for shipping small items, leading to unnecessary cost. Repacking solves this.
The VAT rate in Italy for all imports is 22% with no minimum value threshold, and is added to customs duties above €150. A new temporary customs duty of €3 will also be imposed on imports under €150 and may be applied once per shipment per category of products.
Accurate documentation is important when there are missing or unclear product descriptions or HS codes because they can delay a package at customs.
It is important to know the basics of Italian customs before ordering from a United States based store. VAT, duty, and the new low value parcel charge are all applicable, depending on the value and category of the order.
Some products are limited or may need additional documentation, so you will want to verify prior to purchasing. We take care of creating detailed customs documentation for you, making sure your package passes through Italian customs smoothly and without delay.
