Using My Baggage for shipping your luggage isn’t your only option for sending belongings to Italy from the United States. Depending on the purpose of your trip, there are other alternatives that might suit your needs better. Here are some options worth considering:
If you're planning a long-term relocation to Italy, you may want to look into moving services that cater to international shipping. This method enables you to send all your essential belongings—including larger items like furniture—conveniently, making your transition to your new home smoother.
For larger items that are hard to transport, such as couches, appliances, or even vehicles, ocean freight might be the best option. Although it’s generally more affordable, keep in mind that shipping by sea can take a significant amount of time, potentially leaving you without your belongings for up to two months, depending on the shipping route. Don’t forget to factor in the costs of getting your items to and from the ports at both ends.
Air cargo is another viable option for transporting large items from the US to Italy. While this method is much quicker than sea freight, it usually comes with a higher price tag, as costs are determined by weight and volume. Be sure to consider the additional expenses for transporting your items to and from the airports as well.
When shipping personal effects or gifts from the USA to Italy, you need to complete a customs form. When you book your shipment with My Baggage, we automatically generate the necessary customs forms for you to fill out and provide guidance throughout the process. Since regulations can change and requirements vary depending on your shipment, we recommend checking Italian customs rules to stay up to date. Below, we've outlined some common topics related to customs requirements between the USA and Italy.
When shipping items to Italy from the USA using My Baggage, you must provide some additional documentation along with the customs forms that we generate for you. This includes:
The necessary documentation will vary depending on your reason for travel. Here’s a breakdown of the requirements:
For Italian Passport Holders: If you have been out of Italy for work or study, provide your passport, proof of entry (like a flight ticket), and potentially a confirmation of your enrollment or employment. If returning from a holiday, you’ll need to provide your passport and proof of entry into Italy. In this case, shipments can only be cleared upon your return as indicated on the entry proof.
For Non-Italian Passport Holders: You will need your passport and proof of entry within a year of the shipment's arrival. Clearance for holiday visits is limited to 1-2 days prior to entry. For relocating, you can send shipments three months before your arrival, along with the necessary evidence of employment or study and your visa.
EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) Submission: If you do not have permanent residency in Italy, an EORI submission is required for entry of personal effects. This process usually takes around five days from the shipment’s entry into customs. Our courier partners can facilitate this process on your behalf. If you need to apply for an EORI code, you will typically be required to provide an EORI application form along with a copy of your passport.
Please note that EU passport holders may not be able to obtain an EORI code, which could result in duties of around €30-€50 unless a non-EU passport is provided.
For shipments from the USA to Italy that contain foodstuffs, cosmetics, medications, or medical equipment, sanitary clearance is required. This process involves additional fees and a physical inspection by customs, which can result in delays of up to one week. These items should not be sent using our service.
To avoid potential issues, it’s recommended that all documentation required by Italian Customs is in the name of the receiver, who should be the owner of the shipment. If any documentation is in the sender’s name and this differs from the receiver’s name, Italian Customs may reject the shipment.
When shipping personal effects, please ensure that the names of both the sender and receiver match those of the shipment's owner.
Please note: Italian Customs may request additional documentation if needed.
For shipments from the USA to Italy, customs fees or duties may apply. Typically, shipments of used personal effects valued at $100 or less (€140 or less) are less likely to incur additional charges - but it depends on multiple factors. Temporary imports, such as items sent for vacations or short trips, will be assessed individually by Italian customs; however, everything is assessed on a case-by-case basis. If any customs fees are due for your shipment, they will be payable through our courier partner, who will work with Italian customs on your behalf.
When sending a gift to Italy from the USA, keep in mind that gifts valued at €45 or less can enter the country duty-free. Any gifts exceeding this value will be subject to applicable duties and taxes on the entire shipment.
It's important to remember that each shipment is unique and depends on factors like declared values, country of purchase, and the items themselves. If you have any concerns, we recommend contacting Italian customs for further assistance.
To ensure your shipment arrives safely and without issues, we recommend reviewing this important information carefully. When shipping to Italy from the USA, it’s essential to avoid including any Prohibited Items in your shipment. While we do provide compensation cover options for added peace of mind, please note that some items are classified as Non-Compensation Items and are not covered under our policy. Be sure to Package all items securely to help ensure they arrive safely in Italy.
