No jargon, no surprises, no chasing. Just a calm, well-run relocation with a clear plan and a fixed written quote.

Italy Customs — The Short Version
Qualifying household goods usually enter Italy with relief from import charges when you move your residence — but the relief is claimed with documents, never automatic. What qualifies, the paperwork Italy expects, and what cannot enter at all are covered in our Italy customs guide. Fusion prepares and lodges the file for every client on this route.
Moving to Italy: what’s different about this route
Italy rewards preparation. Customs paperwork runs through your codice fiscale and residence registration; delivery into historic city centres (Milan’s centro, Rome’s ZTL, Florence) often requires small shuttle vehicles, parking permits or external lifts for upper floors — all things we plan at survey stage in Dubai, not on delivery day. Fine art, antiques and wine collections — a specialty on this corridor — travel with condition reports and climate-aware packing from our fine-arts team.
What’s included
- Free pre-move video or home survey in Dubai
- Full export packing; museum-grade crating for art, antiques and pianos
- Sea freight (sole-use container or groupage) or air freight
- Dubai export clearance + Italian import clearance with duty-relief application
- Delivery with ZTL permits/shuttle where needed, unpacking, debris removal
- Optional: storage either end, marine insurance, pet and vehicle relocation
How your move to Italy works
- Free survey — we measure volume and flag ZTL access, lifts, crating needs.
- Fixed quote — sea/air side by side, insurance in writing.
- Export packing — our Dubai crew packs and inventories to Italian customs standard.
- Shipping — vessel or flight booked; Dubai export handled.
- Italian customs — our partner lodges your duty-free residence-transfer entry.
- Delivery — to room, unpacked, debris removed — Milan to Palermo.
- Settling in — one coordinator until you confirm everything arrived right.
Your car to Italy
We ship cars to Italy by container or RoRo. Import duty relief can apply with a residence transfer for a vehicle owned 6+ months, but Italian re-registration (revisione, targhe) has real costs — we’ll give you the honest ship-vs-sell numbers before you commit. Left-hand drive, so no conversion issues.
Where in Italy?
- Milan — finance/fashion capital, most Dubai corporate moves land here
- Rome — government, diplomacy, international organisations
- Florence & Tuscany — lifestyle movers, art-heavy shipments
- Naples & the South — port city, family returns
- Turin — industry and design
What it costs
Groupage suits apartments (priced per cubic metre); a 3–4 bed villa typically ships in a sole-use 20ft/40ft container in the mid five figures AED; air freight works for a fast-start kit of essentials. Fixed quote after survey — always. Full breakdown
FAQ
Can you deliver into a historic city centre?
Yes — ZTL permits, shuttle vans and external lifts are routine for us in Milan, Rome and Florence. We price it at survey so there are no surprises.
Can you ship wine, art or antiques?
Yes — our fine-arts service crates to museum standard with condition reports. Note that alcohol falls outside household duty relief and is declared separately.
Should I ship my car?
Shipping is easy; Italian registration costs are the deciding factor. We’ll run the numbers with you — sometimes yes, often sell-and-rebuy wins.
Moving from Dubai to Italy
Fusion Relocations has managed international household moves out of the UAE since 2010. A move to Italy is handled end to end by one coordinator: export packing at your home in Dubai, freight, customs formalities at both ends, and delivery and unpacking at your new address.
What the service covers
- Pre-move survey — a walk-through in Dubai, in person or by video, that fixes the volume behind your Italy quote.
- Export packing — export-grade materials throughout, with bespoke crates where marble, glass or artwork demands them.
- Freight — sailings to Genoa and La Spezia for northern Italy, Naples for the south; air freight available for the essentials.
- Customs — export cleared in the UAE and import cleared in Italy under transfer-of-residence relief where you qualify, with the paperwork prepared for you.
- Delivery — placed room by room at the new address, unpacked, and the empty boxes gone before we leave.
- Extras — pet relocation, vehicle shipping and storage at either end.
How the move runs
- Survey and quote. We look at what is moving and confirm a written, all-in price.
- Booking. We agree packing dates and the sailing or flight.
- Packing. Our crew packs and inventories everything at your home.
- Departure. After Jebel Ali export clearance — or Dubai International for air — the container is on the water for Italy.
- Arrival. Import clearance in Italy, then delivery to your door.
Which Italian port suits you best — Genoa, La Spezia or Naples — plus sailing times and current duty thresholds depend on carrier schedules and Italian customs practice, so we confirm live figures with your written quote.
