SHIPPING LABEL:

CUSTOMS:
For packages arriving from the US/Asia, there is usually a fee to be paid by the receiver – even though
shipment fee is paid from the sender. However, the Hotel is not allowed to settle this kind of fee. However, they may
solve this by charging on a credit card you provide - if required we can send a form from the hotel for this that you will need to complete on request. by filling in the form here with enclosed.
Please, kindly note that the Hotel is not entitled to provide its VAT number in this very occasion. As the courier
issues fiscal invoice for the shipments and the Hotel cannot receive invoices for an unpaid service, due to audit
reasons.
The solution we would like to suggest, in order to avoid the shipment to be hold at the Customs, is to require
for an EORI number. It is an identification number used by Customs to monitor and track shipments coming
into and out of the European Union.
Any courier should have a form you may fill in which also requires a copy of your passport so to activate the
creation of the EORI number. This allows the clearance of the goods from the Customs.
Alternatively, we may suggest you to find an Italian counterpart (such as your DMC) which can provide you
with the Italian VAT number to clear the goods.”
