The two nations harbor a flourishing trade relationship, with major cargo ports like the Port of Los Angeles in the US and the Port of Genoa in Italy acting as key connectors. Yet, the journey across the Atlantic isn&#8217;t always smooth sailing. Many businesses encounter stumbling blocks due to lack of knowledge around shipping regulations and best practices.<\/p><br><p>For instance, if choosing sea freight feels like plotting a course through unfamiliar waters, you&#8217;re not alone. Many shippers grapple with common mistakes, such as misdeclared cargo or misunderstood customs paperwork. In this section, we will share the necessary compass &#8211; a list of do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts &#8211; to make the transit from American to Italian ports less daunting. Just like learning the ropes on a tall ship, understanding these guidelines will make your sea freight experience smoother and more predictable.

Besides, if your shipment's safety is paramount due to high-value items or delicate cargo, FCL is preferable as the container remains sealed from the origin to the destination, reducing the number of hands touching your goods.<br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Example:<\/strong> Consider a furniture manufacturer in the US shipping a large consignment to Rome, Italy. Given the volume of units and space they occupy, the order would likely exceed 15 CBM. The company should, therefore, consider booking an FCL container to lower costs and ensure the safe arrival of their inventory.<br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Cost Implications:<\/strong> While FCL's initial cost seems higher than LCL often, keep in mind that FCL provides a per unit cheaper price for high volume, reducing your overall expense.

This option offers flexibility, as you only pay for the space you use, and there's usually more frequent departure times compared to shipping a full container (FCL).<br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Example:<\/strong> Take the scenario of a US-based furniture company exporting high-end tables to Italy. They only ship about 10 CBM per month. An LCL shipment is the most practical as they avoid unused wasted space in a full container and get their product to market more frequently.<br><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Cost Implications:<\/strong> With LCL freight, you pay according to the volume that your cargo occupies, making it a more affordable option compared to paying for a whole container when you're not utilizing all the space. However, keep in mind that the cost per CBM is higher than FCL, and you might face additional handling charges due to the consolidation and deconsolidation process.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Choosing between consolidation or a full container for ocean shipping between the US and Italy can leave you in knots!

On the other hand, &#8216;volumetric weight&#8217;, also known as &#8216;dimensional weight&#8217;, factors in the size of the item, not just its weight.<\/p><br><p>In air cargo, to calculate the volumetric weight, you multiply the dimensions of your parcel (length x width x height in cm) and divide it by a volumetric factor; typically, 6000 in the case of air freight. <strong>For example, a shipment measuring 60cm x 50cm x 40cm would yield a volumetric weight of (60 x 50 x 40) \/ 6000 = 20 kg.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>In Express Air Freight services, they usually use a slightly different factor, generally 5000. <strong>Therefore, using the same dimensions, the calculation would look like (60 x 50 x 40) \/ 5000 = 24 kg. Quick conversion note: 20 kg equates to approximately 44 lbs, and 24 kg is about 53 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The importance of these calculations arises when determining the freight charges. Shipping costs are calculated using whichever is highest between the gross weight and the volumetric weight. This allows carriers to ensure they&#8217;re properly compensated not only for the package&#8217;s weight but also the space it occupies in their vehicle.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1904b378 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1904b378\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a76cac8c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a76cac8c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d188a942 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d188a942\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and Italy<\/h2><br><p>Venturing into the realm of international shipping, <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Door to Door&#8217; service<\/a> is a real game-changer.

Essentially, accurate calculation of these fees relies on a few factors, including the country of origin, the Harmonized System Code (HS Code) of your product, its established customs value, the applicable tariff rate, and any extra charges that may apply.<\/p><br><p>Starting off, the first step when estimating your import duties and taxes is pinpointing the country where your goods were manufactured or produced. Identifying the true origin of your goods is crucial, as this aids in determining the tariff rates under trade agreements and international customs laws.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a54b1e5d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a54b1e5d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-287ca1f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"287ca1f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Grasping the importance of identifying the Country of Origin paves the way for smooth shipping from US to Italy. Five points underscore its significance in calculating duties and taxes.<\/p><br><p><strong>1. Variances:<\/strong> Duties differ based on origin. Spotting your product&#8217;s origin can help forecast the overall cost.<br \/><br><strong>2. Trade Agreements:<\/strong> The US and Italy enjoy trade pacts, impacting your customs duties. The lower the duties, the more profit you make.<br \/><br><strong>3. Customs Rules:<\/strong> Both countries have unique obligations. Compliance keeps your goods from being stranded at the border.<br \/><br><strong>4. Restrictions:<\/strong> Certain products face specific import restrictions. Knowledge of these helps streamline the process.<br \/><br><strong>5. HS Code Accuracy:<\/strong> To get an accurate HS code, you need to know the origin. Misclassifications result in fines, penalties, or impoundment.<\/p><br><p>Special bonds like the EU-US preferential trade agreement can decrease duty rates significantly. Also, restrictions on items such as firearms and other regulated items can delay, or stop, the shipping process. Staying informed and planning accordingly makes your shipping process more efficient and more profitable, whether your goods are high-tech machinery or organic macadamia nuts.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc46ab1e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"dc46ab1e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-134e5382 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"134e5382\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 2 &#8211; Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3><br><p>The Harmonized System Code, often referred to as the HS Code, is a globally recognized classification system used for traded goods. This comprehensive system uniquely assigns each type of product a specific number, forming the basis for customs tariffs, gathering global trade statistics, and for countries to negotiate the scope of trade agreements.<\/p><br><p><strong>One of the easiest ways of obtaining the HS Code is to approach your product&#8217;s supplier<\/strong>. Suppliers usually have a firm understanding of their products and the respective international trade regulations, including the appropriate HS codes.<\/p><br><p>However, in cases where asking the supplier isn\u2019t plausible, there&#8217;s a quick and straightforward way to find your product&#8217;s HS Code.

Click on this <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a>\u00a0to navigate to an HS lookup tool.<br \/><br>2.

Review the &#8216;Heading\/Subheading&#8217; column to find your HS code.<\/p><br><p>While this process is relatively straightforward, it&#8217;s essential to note the importance of accuracy when selecting an HS code. Misclassification can lead to severe consequences such as customs clearance delays and could even amount to costly fines. Be sure to review your product characteristics thoroughly against the code description to avoid common classification errors.<\/p><br><p>Understanding an HS code is equally crucial. Here&#8217;s an infographic demonstrating how to read an HS Code.

They could be different! In the shipping world, your customs value is your cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value.<\/p><br><p><strong>Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/strong> buy a product for <strong>$100,<\/strong> spend <strong>$20<\/strong> on shipping, and add <strong>$5<\/strong> for insurance \u2013 your customs value becomes <strong>$125<\/strong>. That&#8217;s the figure Italian customs authorities will use to compute your duties. Mind you, any variation in this formula can significantly alter your final payout. Think of it like a recipe: you get the best results when you carefully measure every ingredient, right? Just like your grandmother&#8217;s secret sauce, mastering the calculation of your CIF value will make your import experience a whole lot smoother!<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fce26055 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fce26055\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2441365c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2441365c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>Import tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods, and the exact rate depends on the product type and country of origin. For products imported to Italy from the US, the tariff used is the Common Customs Tariff of the European Union.<\/p><br><p>To identify your product&#8217;s tariff, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/taxation_customs\/dds2\/taric\/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TARIC System &#8211; European Customs<\/a> consultation tool. First, enter the HS code identified in previous steps, and select the US as the country of origin.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s illustrate this with an example. If you&#8217;re importing bicycles (HS Code 871200), the TARIC consultation tool might reveal a duty rate of 14%. To calculate your import duties, you start by determining the Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value. Let&#8217;s say your CIF value is $10,000. The import duty payable would be 14% of $10,000, equaling $1,400. However, remember this is just a generic scenario &#8211; the actual tariff rate and calculation might vary depending on your specific product and circumstances.<\/p><br><p>Guiding businesses through shipping intricacies is our specialty, and getting familiar with import tariffs greatly reduces surprises and potentially, costs. Never underestimate the potential impact of customs duties. It&#8217;s always better to be prepared.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-143f7189 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"143f7189\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a6ea1fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a6ea1fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>Completing the customs clearance process in Italy involves more than just paying the standard tariff rate. In fact, several other import duties may come into play based on your product and its country of origin.<\/p><br><p>For instance, you may have to pay excise duty for certain goods like alcohol. Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re importing whiskey. The excise duty in Italy could be roughly $3 per liter (just an example; consult the customs authority for precise rates).<\/p><br><p>Then there&#8217;s the anti-dumping tax, which Italy, like many countries, imposes to protect its domestic manufacturers against cheap imports. Say you&#8217;re importing steel from the U.S., and the price is significantly lower than local Italian steel. Anti-dumping duties could then inflate your final cost.<\/p><br><p>Most notably, you must factor in the Value Added Tax (VAT) that Italy levies on most imported goods. For instance, if the standard VAT rate is 22%, and your shipment is valued at $5000, you&#8217;ll need to pay a VAT totaling $1100.<\/p><br><p>Remember, these are broad examples, and exact rates will vary based on a myriad of factors.

Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s actually quite straightforward. The primary elements used are the customs value of the goods, VAT (Value Added Tax), Excise Duty if applicable, and sometimes anti-dumping taxes if needed. To compute, you multiply these elements with the goods&#8217; customs value.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s consider three scenarios:<\/p><br><p>-In the first instance, your textiles have a customs value of $2000 and a duty rate of 5%, ending in outgoing duties of $100 ($2000 x 5%).<\/p><br><p>-If they qualify for VAT (20% in Italy), the bases increase to $2200 with the total duty and VAT equalling $440.<\/p><br><p>-In cases where anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty apply, assuming these are 10% and 15% respectively on a garment item costing $5000, you&#8217;d find yourself paying $500 in duties, $550 in VAT, and an extra $750 for the anti-dumping and excise duty combined.<\/p><br><p>Still sounds complicated or you just don&#8217;t have the time?

The Bill of Lading is your navigator. It&#8217;s a legal document that seals the deal between shipper and carrier, tracking your cargo from port to port. When ownership shifts &#8211; that&#8217;s where the Bill of Lading kicks in. But who loves paperwork? Here&#8217;s a win: the electronic, or &#8216;telex&#8217;, release. It&#8217;s greener, faster, and pandemic-proof \u2013 no waiting for couriers.<\/p><br><p>For airfreights, the AWB (Air Waybill) pops in. It shares the Bill of Lading\u2019s duty but soars high in the skies. Your takeaway? Pay keen attention to these documents and consider telex for smooth operations. They&#8217;re not just proofs, they&#8217;re your cargo\u2019s protectors.

Then, your Packing List is your best friend. It&#8217;s the ultimate proof of what&#8217;s inside those shipping crates, whether you&#8217;re using sea routes or jetting through the air. It&#8217;s your responsibility to jot down every item that goes onboard and be accurate \u2014 the Italian Customs doesn&#8217;t accept vagueness. Miss out on a single item? You could be fined or delayed at customs. Picture the scene: your new Tuscan retailer is waiting for 500 &#8216;Chianti Classico&#8217; wine glasses but the Packing List only shows 400 &#8211; a logistical and financial nightmare! Treat your Packing List as the &#8216;golden truth&#8217; of your cargo to ensure a smooth shipping journey from the US to Italy.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02bb4eed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"02bb4eed\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46852389 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46852389\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Commercial Invoice<\/h4><br><p>Navigating through custom clearance? Your Commercial Invoice is your best ally, especially when shipping from the US to Italy. It&#8217;s your detailed declaration of what you&#8217;re shipping, its value, and where it&#8217;s made. However, ensuring accuracy is vital: mismatched data between your Commercial Invoice and other shipping documents could trigger costly delays. Take, for instance, the description of goods: An ambiguous &#8216;car parts&#8217; description won&#8217;t cut it; you need to be specific, like &#8216;brake pads for Ford Musting 2023 model.&#8217; Aligning these details across your documents will enable smoother clearance, saving you time and funds. Remember, successful shipping isn&#8217;t always about the quickest route, but the smartest paperwork.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d998547 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7d998547\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57eb98c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57eb98c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Certificate of Origin<\/h4><br><p>When shipping goods from the US to Italy and vice versa, the Certificate of Origin is your hero document, ensuring smooth sailing through customs. This document testifies where your goods were produced, often giving them a preferential customs duty rate, helping your bottom line. Imagine you&#8217;re exporting California wines to Rome \u2013 stamping &#8216;Made in USA&#8217; on your Certificate of Origin could significantly reduce the duties applied because of trade agreements between the two countries. It\u2019s a simple yet powerful step to save money and time, making this key paper essential for hassle-free, cost-effective shipping.

Why? Because it confirms that your goods meet all EU health, safety, and environmental protection standards. It&#8217;s not about quality per se but rather about compliance. Contrast this with the US, where standards are typically industry regulated and vary more by product. If your product doesn&#8217;t have the CE mark, it&#8217;s a closed door to Italy and the broader European market. So, to ease your shipping process, check your product categories. If they fall under the CE standard, get them certified before shipping. your ease in shipping becomes a smooth sail.

When shipping goods between the US and Italy, an EORI number is essential. This unique code identifies your business to customs authorities, simplifying the tracking of imports and exports throughout the EU. Think of it as your VIP pass for smoother, faster clearance processes. To register, simply apply through your respective customs website. Keep in mind, no EORI, no trade.
