How much are Trendyol customs fees in Italy?
Trendyol's Italian growth rides on Turkish fashion at sharp prices, and its parcels reach Italy from a country in a customs union with the EU. That changes the duty conversation: goods in free circulation in Türkiye under an A.TR certificate can enter without conventional customs duty, yet whether Italian customs extends that to waive the flat low-value duty is an unsettled point applied case by case. The honest position for a shopper: assume the standard charge, and let the carrier's itemised notice deliver any good news.
The standard charge since 1 July 2026, for IOSS-registered orders up to €150, is €3 per distinct HS6 tariff line with Italian VAT at 22% settled at checkout. Agenzia delle Dogane brings its usual scrutiny of declared values, so parcels whose paperwork matches the order invoice clear fastest through Poste Italiane's network.
VAT, importantly, is untouched by any customs-union preference — no route from Türkiye avoids it.

Worked example
The arithmetic on a typical order: €41.00 trainers plus a €6.45 imitation-jewellery accessory, shipped for €5.50 — goods €47.45. Footwear and jewellery are distinct HS6 headings, so 2 tariff lines and duty of 2 × €3 = €6 on the standard path. Checkout VAT was €11.65; Poste Italiane handling typically contributes €0–€8. Budget €70.60–€78.60 at the door, €6–€14 of which is the part collected after checkout. If the consignment cleared under A.TR, the duty figure may come out differently — the delivery notice is the document to trust.

Frequently asked questions
- Do Trendyol parcels from Turkiye pay customs duty in Italy?
- By default, yes: IOSS orders up to €150 pay €3 per distinct HS6 tariff line under the transitional regime. Türkiye's customs union with the EU means goods with A.TR certificates can enter free of conventional duty, but whether that also displaces the flat low-value duty is decided in practice — check your Poste Italiane charge notice rather than assuming exemption.
- Is the €3 on a Trendyol order a one-off fee per delivery?
- No. It is charged once per distinct HS6 tariff line in the consignment. Trainers plus a jewellery accessory span two headings, so 2 × €3; three pairs of trainers would sit in one heading and share one €3. Describing it as a per-delivery or per-parcel fee is the most common error in coverage of the 2026 rules.
- Does Italy charge VAT on Trendyol even with the customs union?
- Yes — the EU-Türkiye customs union concerns customs duty, never VAT. Italian VAT at 22% applies to every Trendyol order: collected at checkout via IOSS for consignments up to €150, or as import VAT on goods plus shipping plus duty for larger ones. Expecting a VAT-free parcel from Türkiye is a mistake that leads to doorstep surprises.
- What does a Trendyol parcel cost in Italy if IOSS was not used?
- The standard import process applies: tariff by HS code — where valid A.TR documentation may lower the conventional rate — import VAT at 22% on the combined base of goods, shipping and duty, and Poste Italiane's advancement fee, typically €0–€8 for postal deliveries, paid before handover. Footwear tariffs without preference are steep, so this route deserves caution.
- Can Italian customs hold my Trendyol parcel over its declared value?
- Yes. Agenzia delle Dogane is strict on undervaluation and can reassess a parcel against the actual order value, recalculating duty and VAT at 22% and adding penalties while the shipment waits. Marketplace parcels with consistent electronic data rarely trigger this, which is a genuine advantage of buying through Trendyol's own checkout flow rather than informal channels.
