About Customs When Shipping to San Marino

Shipping into San Marino is regulated through San Marino customs authorities, with customs procedures closely connected to the Italian and European Union customs system. Since San Marino is not an EU member but has a customs agreement with the EU through Italy, shipments entering the country may require customs declarations, VAT payment, and proper import documentation.

Correct declarations and accurate paperwork help prevent delays, inspections, extra charges, or shipment returns.

Will I Pay Customs Charges When Shipping to San Marino?

All packages except Documents are generally dutiable. However, whether or not a shipment will attract customs duties, taxes, or import charges depends on:
