Note: The sanitary division at Italian ports/airports has just implemented a new requirement on all inbound shipments. Importers will need to certify that their shipments do not include any product against the mold and humidity or moisture absorbing bags. If these were included in the shipment, they will need to be declared and this declaration will need to be accompanied by analysis certificates with the composition of the product, certifying that this does not contain dimethyl fumarate. The certification must be provided by an accredited UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory and a legalized translation into Italian may be required. Of course, this also applies to the “anti-mold” bags that are placed in containers/lift vans to inhibit mold during transit.
Declaration forms will be provided by the destination agent in Italy.
