US import duty on goods from Italy
Every italian shipment to the US now needs a customs entry — the $800 de minimis exemption is gone for both courier and post. On top of the ordinary MFN rate, Italy carries a 10% Section 301 duty, applied as a cap rather than a surcharge.
Italy is covered by the European Union determination: the total is capped at 10%, not increased by 10 points.
