Duty & tariff treatment for Italy
As an EU member state, Italy applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka: duty-free or sharply reduced tariffs on roughly two-thirds of EU tariff lines, covering most teas, spices and coconut products, when origin is proven. Italy is a major market and processing center for spices, herbal extracts and food ingredients.
GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.
Import requirements for Italy
Essential Oils is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Italy. Essential oils are traded on purity / GC specifications; cosmetic-use oils follow the market’s cosmetics rules (e.g. EU Cosmetics Regulation, IFRA), and food-flavor oils may additionally need food-safety clearance. 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 輸出書類チェックリスト for the full set.
