If your delivery is urgent it may be possible to arrange a next day delivery to Italy however it will depend on the size & weight of the goods to be transported. If you require next day delivery, speak to one of our transport co-coordinators on 01206 696 988.
Shipping from Italy to the UK
Our haulage network spans the UK and western Europe making us well placed for importing goods from Italy to the UK with transit times from between 2 – 5 days. Due to our current membership of the European single market most goods can be imported tariff free and with minimal paperwork required however we will advise you if your goods require special attention. The value of goods imported from Italy to the UK in 2016 was over £19 billion with machinery and machine parts making up the largest element at around 19%. Unsurprisingly wine and pasta make up another 5% and with such strong trading links it is easy to see why shipping from the UK to Italy is relatively straight forward and cost effective.
