Exporting goods to Libya requires certain formalities to ensure that goods are not blocked or restricted during customs clearance. As for all exports outside the EU, a commercial invoice and packing list are required to issue the DAU (Customs Declaration).
Additional quality certifications are also required for some goods (meat and animal derivatives, cosmetics, fruit, vegetables, pulses, etc.). In contrast, the export of pork and alcohol is totally banned for religious reasons.
In addition to the above-mentioned documents, a bill of lading is also required to export by sea.
Importation from Libya also naturally requires a number of steps to be taken into account when planning the arrival of goods in Italy. The Global Shipping team will be happy to support your company in this too.
To import by sea, a bill of lading is required. An invoice and packing list are required for import and export customs operations; the customs bill is issued by the customs declarant on the basis of the data on the invoice.
