Before You Ship to Italy
Whether you need a fast delivery or you’re in no rush at all, it’s still good to know Italy’s public holidays and non-working days (Saturday and Sunday) so you can avoid them. If you do choose to ship to Italy on these days, it could delay your parcel’s arrival.
Another issue that can delay your shipment to Italy from the UK is if your parcel gets held up at Italian Customs. We will send you all the documentation you need to avoid this but if it’s a good idea to check Italy’s customs regulations so you don’t send anything that’s prohibited from entering the country.

Customs and Postage to Italy After Brexit
Because the UK is no longer in the EU, your delivery to Italy may be subject to additional charges such as EU VAT. Italy’s VAT rate is 22% of the total value of your shipment.
But there are exceptions to paying VAT when you send a parcel to Italy. For example, if the cost of the gift you’re sending plus the cost of postage is under the value of £39*/€45, you won’t be charged anything extra! Remember that this only counts if your item is sent from one individual to another.
If you’re sending from a business or directly from a marketplace such as Amazon, then you will need to pay any duties or charges required of your item - usually just the 22% EU VAT. Here’s more about shipping to Europe as a business sender.
