Description: We export branded bags and jerseys to Italy, and can be loaded into containers in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, with flexible FCL shipping options. Shenzhen/Guangzhou direct flights to Genoa and Trieste take 28-40 days, and door-to-door flights take 35-50 days. One fixed price all inclusive: ocean freight, customs clearance, Italian customs clearance, customs duties, 22% value-added tax, and delivery. The clothing tariff is about 12%. Starting from July 2026, the EU will cancel the 150 euro tax exemption and instead impose a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tariff category. Starting from October, Italy will add an additional 2 euros in administrative fees. Customs clearance requires EORI to bind Italian VAT, commercial invoice indicating fabric model, width, weight, and complete brand authorization letter. The label must be durable in Italian and indicate the fiber composition and "Made in China". Wooden packaging requires IPPC heat treatment. Double clearance with tax included, delivery throughout Milan, Rome, and Genoa.

Italy is one of the markets with the strictest fashion regulations in the European Union, and the customs clearance standards of Genoa and Naples ports are also among the finer levels within the EU. EORI is not bound to Italian VAT, so the declaration cannot be submitted; The label does not have a durable Italian label, and the entire batch is required to be rectified; Brand authorization is lacking, and customs directly deducts goods for infringement. We pass these checkpoints for our customers before shipping.

1、 Shipping prices and delivery time of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Italian sub brands

1. Shipping time from Shenzhen to Italian sub brand bags and jerseys by sea

We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou or Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Genoa and Naples Port takes about 22-30 days. Door to door delivery for the entire container takes about 30-45 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 35-50 days. The Italian customs process declarations through the AIDA electronic customs clearance system, with a standard lead time of approximately 2-5 days. During the peak season from June to September, cabin availability may be tight, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is more relaxed.

2. Shipping prices of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Italian sub brands by sea

The quoted price includes all costs, including sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Italian customs clearance, customs duties, 22% value-added tax (IVA), and final delivery. It should be calculated clearly before signing the contract and there will be no additional charges in the future.

3. Shipping taxes and fees for bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Italian sub brands

There are three points in Italian taxes that directly affect costs. In terms of tariffs, the tariff rate for clothing and textiles (HS Chapters 61-62) is 12%, and for footwear it is 8-17%. The standard VAT rate is 22%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 22%. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union officially cancels the tariff exemption for imported packages below 150 euros and instead imposes a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tariff category. One package contains a T-shirt and a watch (2 categories), with a tariff of 6 euros. Starting from October 1, 2026, Italy will impose an additional administrative fee of 2 euros, with a buffer period from July to September, and only implement a 3 euro EU tariff. VAT deferral is a cash flow tool worth paying attention to on this line. Importers holding Italian VAT numbers can apply for deferral, but they may not make actual payments during customs clearance and claim quarterly deductions.

2、 Shenzhen to Italian sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: four checkpoints, none of which can be relaxed

First level: EORI number and Italian VAT - hard threshold for customs clearance

Italian customs require importers to hold a valid EORI number, with a fixed format of "IT"+11 digits, which are usually exactly the same as the VAT number. If the declared value is ≥ 22 euros, the recipient EORI code must be provided in the invoice. Without this number, customs will refuse to process the declaration documents. When using DDP double clearance tax service, the freight forwarder acts as the importer to complete EORI and VAT related administrative work. EORI information must be confirmed in place before shipment.

Second level: Commercial invoice - the core basis for AIDA declaration

Italian customs require the submission of three copies of commercial invoices, which must indicate the HS code (Chapters 61-62), CIF value, complete product description (general terms such as "clothing batch" are prohibited), brand, trade terms, and country of origin ("Made in China"). For imported textiles, the model, width, and weight of the fabric must be specifically stated on the invoice. At the same time, an EPR registration number must be provided, and packaging, textiles, and other categories must be enforced. Failure to complete registration will result in direct seizure of goods; The outer packaging of the goods must be printed with CONAI recycling labels, and those without labels will face fines.

Level 3: Italian Textile Labels - Mandatory Enforcement of Regulations 1007/2011

Italy implements EU Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 through domestic law. The label must indicate the fiber composition in Italian, use the complete name, do not accept abbreviations or acronyms, and be arranged in descending order of weight. The label must be durable, firmly attached, and clearly readable. If non textile components of animal origin are included, they must be labeled as "Contiene parti non tessili di origin animale". The manufacturer/importer's name, address, and product identification code must be indicated.

Fourth level: Brand authorization - Italian customs can proactively detain infringing goods

According to the EU Intellectual Property Border Enforcement Regulations, Italian customs have the right to proactively detain goods suspected of trademark infringement. Before making a detention decision, the customs will notify the declarant, who may express their opinions within 3 working days; The decision to detain must be notified to the rights holder and declarant within one working day. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, which must specify the authorizing party, authorized party, product scope, and validity period. Unauthorized goods are at risk of destruction after being seized.

Fifth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port

Destination port customs clearance process (our Italian cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):

1. EORI/VAT confirmation (before shipment): Confirm that the importer EORI is valid and bound to Italian VAT

2. Pre review of documents (during transportation): Submit the complete set of customs clearance documents to the agent for early review, complete the Italian language compliance verification of label content, and complete the special information for textile products on commercial invoices

3. AIDA electronic declaration (before arrival): To submit an import declaration through the AIDA system, an EORI number must be provided

4. Customs valuation and inspection: With complete documentation, customs clearance is usually completed within 2-5 working days; In case of inspection, reserve 5-7 days

5. Tax payment release: payment of customs duties on behalf of others+22% value-added tax, deferred to quarterly declaration under VAT deferred mode

6. End delivery: Delivery throughout Milan, Rome, Florence, and Genoa

Sixth level: List of customs clearance documents

Customs clearance document list: original/electronic bill of lading, commercial invoice (in triplicate, including textile fabric model/width/weight), packing list, brand authorization letter, importer EORI and Italian VAT number, EPR registration number, CONAI identification certificate, certificate of origin (if applicable), wooden packaging fumigation certificate (if applicable).

3、 Shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Italy with six red lines, even touching one would be troublesome

1. EORI is not bound to Italian VAT - customs clearance is directly stuck

Italian customs require the EORI number to be consistent with the VAT number, and a declared value of ≥ 22 euros must be provided on the invoice. EORI must confirm the status is valid before shipment. Without this number, the AIDA system will refuse to process the declaration.

2. Non compliant textile labels - Italian labeling is indispensable

The label must indicate the fiber composition in durable Italian, using the complete name and arranged in descending order by weight. Non compliant labels will trigger compliance review by the Italian trade regulatory authorities.

3. Missing brand authorization letter - Customs actively seized goods

Italian customs have the right to proactively detain suspected infringing goods, notify the declarant before detention, and the declarant has only 3 working days to express their opinion. The authorization letter for brand bags and jerseys must be complete and the scope of authorization must be clear.

4. EPR unregistered - direct deduction of goods

EPR registration is mandatory for packaging, textiles and other categories, and goods will be directly detained if registration is not completed. The outer packaging of the goods must be printed with CONAI recycling labels, and those without labels will face fines.

5. New tariff policy in July 2026- cancellation of small exemptions

Starting from July 1, 2026, the tariff exemption for packages below 150 euros will be officially cancelled, and a fixed tariff of 3 euros will be levied for each tariff category. Starting from October 1st, Italy will impose an additional administrative fee of 2 euros.

6. Wooden packaging without IPPC logo - EU unified standard

Italy implements the EU ISPM 15 standard. The EU regulation 2024/288 stipulates a minimum inspection rate of 15% for wooden packaging imported from China. Wooden packaging must undergo heat treatment (HT), kiln drying (KD), dielectric heating (DH), or fumigation and be marked with IPPC. Missing or incorrect markings will result in interception at EU borders. It is recommended to prioritize using plywood fumigation free pallets or plastic pallets.

4、 Shipping packaging requirements for bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Italian sub brands: three-layer protection, according to brand standards

1. Three layer protection

The value of branded bags and jerseys is not low. After drifting on the sea for more than 30 days and inland transportation, the packaging can withstand it.

|First layer: Inner packaging | football jersey cover with dust-proof bag folded up; Put the brand dust bag in the bag, with paper balls stuffed inside to support the shape of the bag. Don't damage the hang tag washing label|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | the box is filled with enough cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the goods cannot be shaken in the box|

|Third layer: outer box reinforcement | cardboard box, do not use soft packaging. Single box should not exceed 30kg, and single side should not exceed 150cm. The box should be sealed with a "worker" shape and the tape should be ≥ 5cm

2. Outer box label: The outer packaging of the goods must be printed with the official Italian CONAI recycling label. Failure to label will result in fines.

3. Wooden packaging: Solid wood must be treated with ISPM 15 and labeled with IPPC. The EU has set a minimum inspection rate of 15% for wooden packaging imported from China. Suggest using plywood fumigation free trays or plastic trays directly.

4. Special requirements for Italian/EU labeling:

-Italian label for fiber components, use full names, do not accept abbreviations, sorted in descending order by weight

-Non textile components of animal origin must be labeled as "Contiene parti non tessili di origin animale"

-Manufacturer/Importer Name, Address, and Product Identification Code

-Outer box label, specific product name written

-Fragile items are labeled with "FRAGILE", and desiccants are placed inside the box to prevent moisture

The competition in Italy is not about who has the lowest price, but about who puts compliance at the forefront. EORI binds VAT, EPR registration, Italian language 1007/2011 labels, brand authorization checks, and IPPC processing for wooden packaging. We will go through each item before loading the container to prevent the goods from returning to Genoa for replenishment. We follow the container loading process from Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, including sea freight, customs clearance, tax payment, and delivery. You hand over the goods to the domestic warehouse, and we will cover the rest of the way for you.
