Shipping costs are one of the most common questions among customers. It’s difficult to give a definitive answer. Shipping costs from the USA to Italy are determined individually. The calculation takes into account various parameters:
- weight and dimensions;
- insurance;
- additional warehouse services.
The cost of shipping to Italy from the USA also depends on the mode of transportation. Shipping by sea is cheaper, while air travel is more expensive but faster.
Italian law is governed by EU regulations, which impose strict requirements for cargo declaration. Shipping from the USA requires payment of VAT and duties if the duty-free value limit for goods is exceeded.
Please also be aware that certain items have special conditions:
- Products must be in their original packaging and their weight must not exceed 5 kg;
- Electronics must have a serial number on the documents;
- Perfumes may have volume restrictions, as do alcohol-containing liquids.
Alcohol and tobacco products are prohibited from being shipped. If such items are found during inspection, the shipment will be confiscated.
Size restrictions apply to shipments. Exact parameters may vary depending on the shipping method. For example, small parcels weighing up to 30 kg and with the sum of their sides up to 300 cm can be shipped by air. For oversized and heavy items, sea freight is suitable. Larger consignments can also be shipped by sea.
The exact dimensions to adhere to when shipping a parcel to Italy are listed on our website. We recommend not exceeding these limits, otherwise complications may arise.
The delivery time depends on the chosen method. If shipping to Italy by sea, delivery can take up to 8 weeks.
A faster method is air freight. Shipping to Italy by air takes up to 14 days.
Please also keep in mind that customs delays are possible. To avoid this, it is necessary to properly process your parcel and declare the exact value of its contents.

seal the box joints with wide tape to securely fasten them.
