| ✈ | Our courier for Europe: we ship mainly with FedEx. In some cases we use BRT to optimise delivery times and costs. We always choose the best courier for your destination. |
| 💡 | Useful tip: make the most of the weight brackets. A 9 kg parcel costs the same as a 2 kg one — fill up your cart and spread the shipping cost across more products. |
Taxes & customs
VAT, duties and what to expect at customs
|
🇪🇺
|
European Union countries Once you enter your EU delivery address at checkout, Italian VAT is automatically removed from all product prices. No customs formalities — free movement of goods applies within the EU. |
|
🇬🇧
|
United Kingdom Italian VAT is not applied to your order. However, since Brexit, orders over £135 may be subject to UK import duties and a customs handling fee (typically around £30). This is charged by the carrier upon delivery and is the responsibility of the recipient. |
|
🇨🇭
|
Switzerland Italian VAT is not applied. Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so Swiss customs duties and VAT (currently 7.7% standard rate) will be applied at the border. The carrier will handle customs clearance and may charge an administrative fee. The recipient is responsible for these costs. |
|
🇺🇸
|
USA & Canada Italian VAT is not applied. In the USA, orders under $800 are generally duty-free (de minimis threshold). In Canada, orders under CAD 20 are typically duty-free. Above these thresholds, local import duties may apply. The recipient is responsible for any customs charges. |
| ℹ | Please note: customs rules and thresholds can change. We recommend checking your country’s import regulations before placing a large order. La Terra di Puglia is not responsible for customs delays or charges applied by local authorities. |

|
— Upon receipt, check the parcel for any damage before signing. Report any issues to us immediately.
|
|
— During Christmas and August, standard delivery times are not guaranteed due to high volumes and reduced courier capacity.

Go to the shop →🫒 Why we don’t offer free shipping
Our products are heavy and delicate — they are not clothing. The shipping cost includes packaging materials (cardboard, polystyrene), VAT, admin costs and active delivery monitoring. We prefer to offer discounts on products rather than hide real costs in our margins.
