That shipments between Italy and the rest of the world are constantly growing is not exactly news. Among these exchanges, shipments between Italy and countries outside the European Union or EU are very common. Of course, there are additional rules to be observed and customs export documents to be produced when shipping a parcel outside the EU.<\/p>
