In the scorching summer, ventilation appliances such as electric fans and circulating fans are essential items for European households, and market demand is steadily increasing. Italy, as an important consumer market in Europe, is a high-quality destination for exporting electric fans. Electric fans belong to ordinary electromechanical products and have no restrictions on the transportation of dangerous goods, but the export process still requires professional control - HS code classification has its own requirements, EU CE certification is a hard threshold for entry, and both the Italian EORI number and VAT declaration process cannot be omitted.
Andaxun International Logistics is deeply involved in the three major sources of goods in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, with over ten years of experience in shipping general cargo and mechanical and electrical products. We provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door service to help you easily explore the Italian market!

For goods shipped to northern Italy (Milan, Turin, Venice), it is recommended to clear customs through the ports of Genoa or La Spezia before land transportation; For goods sent to the south (Naples, Bari), Naples Port is recommended. *
Key points of tariffs and value-added tax: Italy implements the EU unified tariff policy, and the import tax rate of electric fans varies according to the HS code, with a standard value-added tax rate of 22%.
*Friendly reminder: The above time limit is for reference only. Actual delays may be caused by factors such as weather, shipping schedules, port operations, and Italian customs inspections. Port congestion during peak seasons and strict customs inspections may result in additional delays. The above Italian VAT rate of 22% is the general tax rate. Can electric fans, as electronic products, enjoy reduced tax rates? Please provide accurate HS codes, and our company will verify the quotation separately. *
2、 Shenzhen to Italy electric fan sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: professional guidance, worry free throughout the process
Italy is a member state of the European Union, and customs have extremely strict inspections on imported mechanical and electrical products. Incomplete documents or inconsistent information are the main reasons for customs clearance delays. Andaxun's professional operation team will oversee the entire process for you:
1. List of essential documents for booking and customs clearance:
|Commercial invoice | The amount must be marked in euros, indicating the EORI numbers of both parties, and detailing the product name, HS code, quantity, unit price, and total price; The invoice content must be completely consistent with the packing list and actual goods|
|Packing list | Indicate the marking, quantity, weight, and volume of each package, which is particularly important when mixed|
|Certificate of Origin | Chinese made goods usually require it, which affects whether tariff rates enjoy preferential treatment|
|Bill of lading | must be consistent with the invoice and packing list, including information such as shipper, consignee, destination port, and cargo name|
|Insurance Policy | Imported goods at FOB price must be insured in Italy according to regulations, and at least two copies are required|
|CE certification document | As an electronic product, electric fans must hold a CE certificate and an EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), which will be inspected by customs. Missing documents may result in seizure of goods|
|EORI Number | All EU importers must have an EORI number, otherwise the customs clearance process cannot proceed|
|Customs declaration form | Importers or their agents need to fill in, providing detailed information about the goods for calculating tariffs|
2. Double clearance process for Italian destination port (our local cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):
|Importer EORI filing | Ensure that the importer holds a valid Italian EORI number, without which customs clearance is not possible | 2-3 weeks in advance|
|Pre review of documents | Submit a complete set of documents for pre review 3-5 days before the arrival of the goods at the port, and verify invoices, CE certification, certificates of origin, etc. | 1-2 days|
|Customs declaration | Submit the declaration through the Italian Customs electronic system, and if necessary, check the TARIC database to confirm the tariff rate | 1-2 days|
|Inspection and release | Moderate inspection rate for general goods, complete documents for quick clearance | Regular 2-3 days; Inspection takes about 3-5 days|
|Payment of taxes and fees | Payment of customs duties (0% -8%) and 22% value-added tax (calculated based on CIF+customs duties) | Real time|
|Delivery | GLS/BRT/DPD delivery throughout Italy | 1-3 days|
3. HS code key points (important!):
-Recommended classification: Electric fans are generally classified under HS 8414.51 (table fans, floor fans, wall fans, etc. with a power of ≤ 125 watts), and the most favored nation import tax rate is usually in the range of 0% -8%, with common electric fans having a tax rate of about 8%
-If the output power exceeds 125 watts, it can be classified under 8414.59, with slight differences in tax rates
-Unclear HS codes need to be classified and pre judged in advance. Incorrect declarations may face fines - allowing a 5% tolerance between the declared quantity or value and the actual situation. Exceeding this range may result in fines
-The EU Comprehensive Tariff Database (TARIC) is the most important tool for all shippers. Before shipment, it is necessary to compare the HS code with the TARIC database to determine the amount of tariffs to be paid, including possible anti-dumping duties
Double Clearance Duty Paid (DDP) refers to a one-stop service provided by freight forwarders responsible for Chinese export customs declaration, international shipping, Italian import customs clearance, payment of customs duties and value-added tax, and final delivery. Customers only need to pay a fixed price and do not need to handle customs clearance and tax issues throughout the process. Our company handles Italian import customs clearance and 22% value-added tax payment, and customers do not need to handle European tax declaration on their own.
>Time limit explanation: The above "customs inspection" time limit refers to the time limit for customs clearance and release of ordinary non sensitive categories. Electric fans belong to electromechanical products, with an average inspection rate and complete documentation for smooth customs clearance. But Italian customs have the right to conduct stricter inspections on high-risk categories or random sampling. If goods are subject to customs control and inspection, the actual time limit shall prevail.
3、 Shipping packaging requirements for electric fans from Shenzhen to Italy: triple protection to ensure safety
Electric fans are mechanical and electrical products, and bumps and humidity changes during sea transportation may cause damage to the products. According to GB/T 1019-2008 "General rules for packaging of household and similar electrical appliances" and international maritime packing standards, correct packaging is the key to ensuring the goods arrive intact:
First layer: Inner packaging | Each electric fan needs to be fully wrapped with bubble wrap or pearl cotton, and vulnerable parts such as fan blades should be protected against shock; Core components such as motors are wrapped with multiple layers of bubble wrap|
Second layer: Fill and fix
-Fill the gap between the product and the outer package with foam board or air pillow to prevent shaking and collision during transportation
-When stacking multiple layers, partitions or sliding paper should be added between layers to avoid compression deformation
-The lining cushioning material is filled in place to ensure that the packaging can pass drop and vibration tests
Third layer: outer box and pallet
-Select corrugated cardboard boxes with sufficient compressive strength, seal the boxes using the "H" - shaped sealing method, and reinforce the corners with corner protectors
-Moisture proof treatment: Due to the large fluctuations in humidity during sea transportation, it is recommended to place desiccants inside the outer box and wrap them with stretch film for reinforcement
-Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings and be double fixed with wrapping film and strapping
Label requirements: The outer box must be labeled with clear operation labels such as "fragile", "upward", "sun resistant", etc; The mark must reflect the words "Made in China", sender and receiver information, destination port, and contract number, in compliance with international trade norms. Italy has mandatory requirements for EPR and outer box recycling labels - electronic products sent to Italy must complete EPR registration and obtain the CONAI label (outer box recycling label). Missing any of them may result in the goods being seized or fined.
4、 Precautions for Shipping Electric Fans from Shenzhen to Italy: Avoiding Four Core Risks
1. CE certification and compliance red line
-Electric fans must hold complete CE certification documents, including low voltage directive (LVD 2014/35/EU) and electromagnetic compatibility directive (EMC 2014/30/EU) test reports
-The CE mark on the product, instruction manual, and packaging must be clear and distinguishable
-Must comply with the RoHS directive (restricting the use of hazardous substances)
-Product labels and instructions must include Italian language content to ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements in Italy
2. EORI number and VAT compliance
-Importers must hold an Italian EORI number, as goods without this number will not be able to complete customs clearance
-If the importer does not have a local VAT number, our company can assist in arranging for an Italian local importer to clear on their behalf
-ERP system registration: Electronic products sent to Italy must also complete EPR registration to comply with local environmental compliance requirements
-Under the double clearance and tax package model, we handle the full payment of customs duties and 22% value-added tax on behalf of our clients, eliminating the need for them to handle tax declarations on their own
3. Special Reminder from Italian Customs
-Customs will inspect the goods and documents to ensure accuracy and compliance with import regulations
-Three copies of commercial invoices should be prepared and signed by authorized personnel
-Although the packing list is not mandatory, it must be provided when the goods are mixed together for customs clearance
-Italian customs are currently facing stricter scrutiny of certain types of Chinese goods, and will pay more attention to the quality of documents and the accuracy of HS codes than ever before
-Customs has the right to conduct follow-up inspections after the release of goods to ensure compliance with all regulations
4. Peak season stocking and time management
-Italian summer (June September) is the peak season for electric fan shipments. It is recommended to stock up 45 days in advance and book cabin space as early as possible
-Port congestion during peak season may lead to delayed customs clearance and delivery times
-After the goods arrive in Italy, they will first be transported to the designated customs warehouse or port. It is recommended to coordinate with the importer in advance to arrange for receiving the goods
