Send a Parcel to Italy from the UK
Prepare parcels to Italy with complete address data, accurate customs descriptions and robust packing.
Understand the job before choosing the service.
UK-to-Italy goods movements require customs information because the UK is outside the EU customs territory.
Personal parcels, gifts and ecommerce orders should be described according to what is actually inside them. Broad descriptions can slow clearance.
Italian addresses can include building, street, postcode, municipality and province details, so the recipient information should be checked carefully before booking.
More than a basic parcel transaction.

Accurate recipient details

What to prepare
Italy applies EU customs rules. Final import VAT, duty and carrier charges depend on the shipment and should not be guaranteed in generic website copy.
Frequently asked questions
Can Megway tell me the exact import tax for Italy?
Megway can help prepare the shipment, but final customs charges depend on the goods, value, origin and destination rules. A generic website page cannot guarantee the final assessment.
Can I send gifts to Italy?
Usually, subject to commodity restrictions and customs rules. Gifts should still be described accurately and given realistic values.
Can Megway pack the parcel before shipping?
Professional packing is available at participating locations and can be combined with international shipping.
Can I send several boxes to Italy?
Potentially. Each package still needs its own weight, dimensions and label, and multi-piece availability depends on the selected courier service.
