Customs clearance for Mantua. Hosiery, food, chemicals and agricultural machinery.
From the hosiery district to food and chemical companies, we handle customs formalities for Mantua businesses: declarations, origin of goods, accompanying documents and Intrastat.
Answers to the most common questions.
Do you handle customs operations for Mantua companies?
Yes, we handle export and import declarations, origin of goods and Intrastat for companies in Mantua and its province, from our AEO customs department in Brescia.
How is preferential origin obtained for hosiery and textiles?
It is obtained when the product has undergone in Europe the processing required by the agreement with the destination country. It must be proven with suppliers' declarations: we help you collect them and understand whether the rule is met.
Do you ship dangerous chemicals?
Yes, we arrange dangerous goods shipments by road under ADR, by sea under the IMDG Code and by air under IATA rules, after checking the safety data sheet, packaging and labels.
Do you collect goods in the province of Mantua?
Yes, we collect from your premises throughout the province and arrange transport and customs in the same file.
What matters at customs for a Mantua company?
A customs department for Mantua businesses
The province of Mantua combines very different industries: hosiery and underwear in the north of the province, cheeses and cured meats, chemicals, agricultural machinery. Our customs department, in Brescia, is an Authorised Economic Operator and works for these companies as a stable point of reference: it knows the products, keeps the history of operations and prepares declarations from your documents.
Hosiery: many packages, many destinations
Sellers of hosiery and underwear often ship many small orders to different countries. Each order outside the Union needs its own export declaration, with the correct code, composition and origin. Reduced duty at destination requires preferential origin, which in textiles depends on the processing carried out: we document it with your yarn suppliers' declarations.
Food: from Grana to processed products
Aged cheeses, cured meats and preserves travel with health certificates issued by the competent authorities and, in many markets, with registrations of the plant or importer. We tell you what the destination country requires and synchronise documents, customs declaration and departure. For products that need it we arrange temperature-controlled transport.
Chemicals: classification and dangerous goods
For chemical products the customs code and classification as dangerous goods are two separate things, and both are needed. From the safety data sheet we take the UN number, class and packing group; from the composition, the customs heading. Some substances are subject to export controls: we check before confirming the shipment.
Agricultural machinery and spare parts
Tractors, equipment and spare parts go to markets with their own type-approval rules and documents. At customs, code, origin and value matter; for used machines or those under repair we consider the procedures that avoid paying duty twice.
Imports and Intrastat
For those buying yarn, raw materials or components outside the Union we calculate duties and VAT in advance. For trade with European countries we prepare Intrastat returns.
