The issue
Import costs are not determined by ordinary duty alone. Certain products and origins may face trade-defence measures or other restrictions.

Check classification, manufacturer, origin and applicable measures in the official tariff for the transaction date. Retain technical records and route details. Re-export through another market does not automatically remove origin or relevant measures.
General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
Selling “in Europe” does not identify one legal regime. Italy and other EU states share many rules; the UK, Switzerland and other markets need separate checks.
