Good to know before importing into Italy
Packaging labels
Italy requires environmental labeling on packaging to guide recycling. Tell us early so the factory can print it.
Mediterranean ports
Genoa and La Spezia serve the north, Trieste serves the northeast and Central Europe.
Who is responsible
Under EU rules, someone in the EU must be responsible for each consumer product sold in Italy. Decide who that is before your first order, and we make sure the labels show it.
