Italy customs at a glance

What officers actually check. What we attach to every parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.

๐Ÿ“‹ Required Documents

  • We prepare clear ingredient lists in plain English for every pickle, spice powder and sweet โ€” Italy customs gets accurate EU-compliant documentation.
  • Pure ghee and dairy-based sweets declared honestly with proper labelling โ€” no duty surprises for your family in Milan, Rome or Turin.
  • Homemade Andhra pickles invoiced as personal-use non-commercial food โ€” EU rules permit personal food imports when declared correctly.
  • Every shipment includes a commercial invoice and full packing list prepared free by our team โ€” no extra charge, included always.
  • 25 years of food customs experience across 220+ countries โ€” we know exactly how to prepare documents that clear EU customs fast.

โš–๏ธ Quantity & Biosecurity

  • Personal-use food parcels up to 15 kg clear Italy customs without commercial duties when declared as non-commercial personal food imports.
  • Andhra vegetable pickles, dry spice powders, karam podi and oil-based pickles are all allowed for personal use under EU food import rules.
  • Pure cow ghee is permitted when sealed and declared as dairy โ€” we prepare this paperwork correctly on every ghee shipment.
  • Rice-based and sesame sweets like ariselu and sunnundalu are allowed โ€” dry, non-perishable traditional sweets are fine under EU rules.
  • No fresh meat or fresh fruit โ€” but all traditional dry Andhra pickles, spice powders and non-perishable sweets are perfectly fine.

๐Ÿšซ Common Hold Reasons in Italy

  • Missing or vague ingredient labels cause EU customs to delay parcels โ€” we write precise, accurate ingredient descriptions for every item.
  • Leaking or poorly sealed containers trigger inspection โ€” our 3-layer edible-grade airtight packing prevents leaks entirely.
  • Undeclared items or misrepresented quantities cause delays โ€” we always declare honestly and accurately so your parcel keeps moving.
  • Fresh meat, poultry and fresh dairy products are restricted under EU rules โ€” but dry pickles, spice powders and sealed ghee are fine.
  • Commercial quantities without proper EU documentation cause holds โ€” we keep your parcel within personal-use limits and prepare all paperwork.

Three-layer leak-proof packing

Thick edible-grade pouches inside reinforced cartons โ€” engineered to survive cargo-hold pressure and conveyor jolts. Same standard, refined parcel-by-parcel for two decades.

1

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Inner edible-grade pouch

My daughter is studying at Politecnico di Milano and was desperate for avakaya and karam podi. My parents in Madhapur booked SLP Express โ€” they picked up free, packed everything airtight. Parcel arrived in Milan in 5 days. Italy customs cleared without any issue. My daughter called us crying happy tears. We will send every semester now. Completely trusted.

I work in Milan's IT sector and asked my mother in Kondapur to send gongura pachadi, pure ghee and spice powders. SLP Express quoted 50% below DHL retail, picked up from Kondapur, and delivered in 5 working days. Everything intact โ€” not one drop leaked. Best courier from Hyderabad to Italy. Highly recommend.

Sent Diwali sweets โ€” ariselu, Mysore pak, sunnundalu โ€” from our Jubilee Hills family to our Telugu friends in Rome and Turin. SLP Express handled a 10 kg bulk order at wholesale rates. Everything arrived for Diwali celebrations in perfect condition. We collected as a community and it felt like being back in Hyderabad. Outstanding service.
