Importing goods from Italy? We arrange collection at your Italian supplier and delivery anywhere in the Czech Republic — full truckload, part load or single pallets, usually within 2–3 days.

Importing from Italy is mostly about coordination: the collection date depends on your supplier's warehouse, and your own warehouse or customer is waiting in Czechia. We take that over — we track the truck all the way and give you the exact delivery time.

Where we collect in Italy

  • Lombardy — Milan, Brescia, Bergamo: machinery, electrical goods, fashion.
  • Veneto — Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Treviso: furniture, food, footwear.
  • Emilia-Romagna — Modena, Sassuolo, Bologna, Parma: ceramic tiles, automotive, food.
  • Piedmont — Turin: automotive and industrial components.
  • Tuscany — Florence, Prato: textiles, leather, wine.

Names you know: Ferrari in Maranello, Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Ducati in Bologna, Stellantis in Turin (Mirafiori), Barilla in Parma — and hundreds of suppliers around them.

Route and transit time

From northern Italy we drive via the Brenner or via Tarvisio (Udine – Villach – Linz). From Lombardy or Veneto goods usually reach Czechia within 2–3 days.

Full loads or single pallets

For large volumes we arrange a full truck (up to 34 euro pallets, 24 t). Smaller volumes travel as a part load or groupage — you pay only for the space used. Chilled food travels in a reefer trailer.

Documents

Italy is in the EU, so there is no customs clearance. An invoice and a CMR consignment note are enough. Wine, spirits and beer also need an excise accompanying document (e-AD or simplified document).
