The issue

Selling “in Europe” does not identify one legal regime. Italy and other EU states share many rules; the UK, Switzerland and other markets need separate checks.

What to prepare

Specify destination, product, business or consumer customer, and goods route. Then check customs, taxes and requirements: one Europe-wide quotation may conceal different costs.

Official and primary sources

General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
