Full Details
Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Fresh Fruit sent to Italy typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM — Customs and Monopolies Agency) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.
