EU Customs Regulations — What Importers Need to Know

Since Brexit and with ongoing EU trade policy changes, importing into Italy from non-EU countries requires careful attention to rules of origin, preferential tariff agreements, and product-specific regulations.

ICS2: Advance cargo declarations required for all air and sea freight into the EU
TARIC codes: Every product must be classified under the EU’s Combined Nomenclature
CE marking: Required for electronics, machinery, toys, and medical devices
REACH compliance: Chemical substances entering the EU must be registered

Customs Bonds — Import Faster with Less Cost

A customs bond guarantees payment of duties, taxes, and penalties to Italian and EU customs authorities. Frequent importers benefit significantly from holding a continuous customs bond — reducing per-shipment processing times and overall costs.
