Market planning
An importer established in the EU, with an EORI number, is responsible for the customs declaration, and the goods are classified under a commodity code in the EU tariff. Import VAT is charged at the Italian standard rate of 22% in addition to any duty. Express or air freight usually takes 4–15 working days after dispatch and sea routes 20–45 days. DDP options are reviewed by quotation.
Trade fairs and the outdoor season drive demand: the Salone del Mobile is held in Milan every April at Rho Fiera, Festa della Repubblica falls on 2 June, and the August holiday period closes much of the country. As a planning estimate from our production and freight ranges, approve artwork about 12 weeks before installation for a complex piece shipped by sea, or about 7 weeks by air. Working back from Festa della Repubblica on 2 June, that means approving artwork by mid-March for a complex piece shipped by sea, or by mid-April for air freight.
Summer heat in the south and humid, foggy winters in the Po valley call for different site checks. For outdoor work we review material, seams, the blower position and a covered power connection for the actual site, and agree a weather shutdown plan with the organiser.
Regional and municipal rules, the Vigili del Fuoco and the venue set the requirements, and trade fair venues publish their own exhibitor rules. Venues often cite UNI 9177 or a European fire class set by the project. Approval drawings and labels can be prepared in Italian.
Every design is approved on a scaled drawing and a colour mockup before cutting starts, so an agency in Milan can take it through client sign-off. Revisions happen at the drawing stage, and the production clock starts from final approval.
For a campaign running in Milan, Rome and Turin, each unit is packed and labelled by destination city. Approved patterns are kept on file, so next year's repeat order does not start pattern work again.
What an Italian import involves: an EU-established importer with an EORI number, classification under the EU tariff, and 22% import VAT on top of any duty.
