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
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 出口文件核对清单 for the full set.
