Customs advice for shipping to Italy

You'll need to complete a customs declaration form detailing the contents of your package, its intended use and its accurate value. Parcel Monkey will guide you through this as part of the booking process.

It's essential that you provide accurate information, as Italian customs use it to calculate any duties and taxes owed. Under-declaring the value of your parcel can cause delays and result in additional charges, so always declare the true value and contents of your shipment. All items sent via Parcel Monkey are Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), so the recipient will be contacted by customs to pay any duty owed. Please ensure you provide up-to-date contact details for the recipient so they can be contacted.
