Duty & tariff treatment for Italy

GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC tariff lookup, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our محاسبه‌گر هزینه تمام‌شده. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Italy

Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Italy. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Italy’s customs and standards authority.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our چک‌لیست اسناد صادراتی for the full set.
