VAT Policy and DDP Pricing

This policy describes the pricing structure, VAT application, and operational procedures of the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) model for shipments destined for Italian territory.

Ⅰ. General Description

To facilitate understanding of the final price and reduce uncertainties during the purchase phase, the prices displayed follow an all-inclusive amount criterion.

When applicable, shipment occurs under the DDP model, and the amount indicated during checkout represents the total to be paid, including all foreseen charges.

Ⅱ. Price Composition and Transparency

Cost information is clearly provided during checkout.

Typically, the indicated price includes:

  • any import duties and taxes;

  • administrative and customs clearance costs;

  • costs related to packaging, labeling, and European Union conformity requirements.

Amounts are presented as a total value, without separate subsequent charges.

Ⅲ. VAT Application

Regarding VAT:

  • the tax is included in the product price and does not require additional compliance by the buyer;

  • any rate changes are incorporated into the displayed prices according to current legislation.

Ⅳ. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Mode

Under the DDP model, shipment management follows general criteria such as:

  • customs and tax charges included in the price at the time of order;

  • absence of customs clearance procedures for the recipient;

  • delivery of goods to the indicated address;

  • any customs or address checks managed according to applicable procedures;

  • shipments accompanied by documentation conforming to European Union provisions, with tracking availability.

Ⅴ. Transport and indicative times

The reference times are as follows:

  • shipping policy:

    • for orders equal to or greater than €160, there is no additional shipping cost;

Ⅵ. Customs Documentation

To support import and customs clearance operations, each shipment is generally accompanied by:

  • commercial invoice in electronic or paper format;

  • labels in Italian and relevant certifications.

This documentation helps facilitate customs procedures.
