Customs — What You Need to Know

Since Brexit, every UK–Italy shipment requires customs clearance on both sides of the border, typically transiting through France and Switzerland or Austria en route. You provide the commercial invoice, packing list, and EORI number; we issue the CMR consignment note and coordinate clearance through our partner customs agencies — so your shipment doesn't sit waiting at the border.

Common Questions

💬How long does road freight from the UK to Italy take? Given the distance and Alpine crossing, standard shipments typically take 3–4 days, with express options for tighter deadlines.

💬Do I need an EORI number to ship to Italy? Yes — both a UK and an Italian (EU) EORI number are required for customs clearance.

💬Do you cover northern and southern Italy? Yes — from Milan and Turin in the north to Rome and Naples further south, we route each shipment to the destination you need.

💬Do you also offer air freight to Italy? Yes — for time-critical or high-value shipments, we offer air freight alongside road transport. Contact our team to compare options for your delivery deadline.
