MOTORCYCLES
Below is a reminder and update on motorcycle shipping procedures into Italy, this is very important. Please be advised that due to a change in place of customs clearance in Southern Italy, the following must be strictly adhered to, in order to prevent delay in movement of freight upon arrival in Italy:
- Italian customs requires a clear and valid title with a legible name of the service member, VIN # and make and model of the motorcycle.
- In the case where there is a bank lien statement in lieu of a title, the statement must also be legible and must clearly state the name of the owner of the motorcycle, which must be the same as the name of the service member listed on the OBL/GBL, along with a clear VIN #, make and model of the motorcycle.
- In both instances, a clear and valid registration (not expired) is also required to accompany either the title or bank lien document.
- In the absence of a title or bank lien, the customs broker will attempt to use only a clear and valid registration as an alternative document, but this should be attempted in only rare and justified situations and will be subject to the ultimate decision of the Customs officer who handles that particular case.
If your shipment contains a motorcycle, it MUST be listed on the GBL and the OBL (make, model and serial number). Please check to be sure your carrier has sent the title and/or registration for the motorcycle. Otherwise, the container will be held by customs in Italy.
If you have any questions about hsipments to Italy, please contact our office.
