Italian Customs Clearance, in-house
Import, export and EU/EFTA transit, run by the same Ravenna team that books your sea, air and road freight. One file, from documents to release.
Customs is not a separate file
When customs is treated as a back-office attachment, things break: a missing certificate, a wrong HS code, a transit document filed late. Delta Novel runs customs on the same file as the freight booking, by design: import, export, EU/EFTA transit, certificates of origin and tariff classification, at every relevant Italian customs office.
In-house licensed customs team
Italian customs broker capability handled directly by Delta Novel — not a third-party desk we email and hope will answer.
Classification and compliance done seriously
HS classification, valuation and compliance worked through with the same care as the freight plan — because the wrong code is the most expensive shortcut in the supply chain.
Documents visible in the portal
B/L, AWB, packing list, invoice, certificates and customs documents live in one portal — ready or pending, never lost in email. On document status, the copilot answers in thirty seconds; for everything else, your Ravenna customs broker.
Italian import, export and EU transit
A customs desk that owns the file from cargo-ready to release — and answers when the inspection request lands at 4:55pm.
Import clearance
Italian import customs at the relevant offices, including duty/VAT calculation and post-clearance review.
Export clearance
Italian export customs with EUR.1, certificates of origin, ATR and proof-of-export documentation.
EU/EFTA transit (T1/T2)
Transit declarations, NCTS, guarantee management and follow-through to discharge.
Tariff classification (HS)
HS classification reviews, BTI/BOI applications and dispute support where classification is contested.
Origin & free-trade agreements
Preferential origin under EU FTAs (UK, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Mercosur and more) and supplier declarations.
Sanctions & dual-use review
Sanctions screening, export-control and dual-use review for sensitive cargo and destinations.
Documentation control
Documents are checked before they hit the customs system — invoices, packing lists, certificates and licences reviewed against the cargo and the lane, not after the rejection notice.
- Pre-submission document review
- Mismatch and HS sanity check
- Origin and licence verification
Clearance workflow
Declarations are filed, monitored and discharged from the same screen as the freight file — so any flag, hold or query reaches the right person within minutes.
- Live status against the freight file
- Hold and query handled by named broker
- Discharge tracked to release
Inspection support
When customs calls an inspection, the desk co-ordinates the warehouse, the carrier and the broker — keeping demurrage and storage charges as low as the rules allow.
- Co-ordinated warehouse + carrier + broker
- Demurrage exposure managed
- Inspection outcome documented
