What Regulations Do I Need to Know When Moving to Italy?
Moving your belongings to Italy requires compliance with Italian customs requirements. Documentation requirements can vary depending on your residency status, citizenship, the nature of your move, and the items being imported.
Italy may allow qualifying household goods to enter under applicable duty and tax relief provisions when relocating, provided specific requirements are met. Documentation may include a detailed inventory, passport information, immigration or residency documentation, and other customs forms required for your specific move.
Because customs regulations can change, we recommend reviewing the latest information through FIDI's Customs Guides before your move, visit https://www.fidi.org/customs-guides.
