Import: shipping goods from India to Italy

The importation of goods from India requires the fulfilment of numerous formalities that you need to pay attention to when planning a shipment to Italy (and to EU countries in general).

Each cargo shipment must always be accompanied by documentation detailing the characteristics of the imported goods (invoice and detailed packing list) and the bill of lading (BL for sea freight or AWB for air freight).

Export: shipments from Italy to India

Exporting goods to India from Italy: an operation with many complex bureaucratic requirements. Shipping goods to India first requires documentation to certify the characteristics of the goods to be shipped, including a certificate of origin, commercial invoicing, and any additional certifications required for particular types of products (food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals).

Furthermore, each shipment of goods to India must be accompanied by the necessary shipping documentation, which includes an international consignment note, a list of the packages shipped and labels that make the contents of each cargo unit recognisable.

Any questions?

The differences concern both cubic capacity and weight that can be loaded. A standard 20ft container can hold up to about 21.500 kilos of goods (24.000 kilos tare weight included) and has an average capacity of 30 cbm; there also certified containers that can hold up to about 27.500 kilos of goods (30.480 kilos tare weight included). A 40 ft container can generally squeeze about 60 cbm worth of goods inside and you can load 26.500 kilos of goods (30.460 kilos tare weight included).

Among the factors to be taken into consideration are requested time for the loading; place of loading; type of goods; shipping company.

  • When a specific time for the loading is required, an additional charge could be added. Furthermore, whether the company exceeds the franchise, extra costs could be charged.
  • The place of loading must correspond to the one indicated in the booking. Modification, where necessary, might require extra costs.
  • There are costs related to the type of goods you are willing to ship. Dangerous or IMO goods, for example, require specific procedures and their cost is defined at the time of request.
  • Each company applies its own rates. Our experts identify the company which best suits your needs.
