New Consolidated Shipping Service: Italy to the USA
We are very pleased to announce a new consolidated shipping service between Italy and the United States in partnership with Armeria Lenzerini , who will be acting as our new shipping partner in Italy. They will be coordinating with auction houses and gun shops across the country to collect and prepare purchases for export, allowing us to offer a streamlined consolidated service for clients buying throughout Italy.
Similar to our UK program, consolidated shipments are expected to depart approximately every 8–12 weeks. By grouping shipments together, we can simplify logistics and reduce overall shipping costs for you, while also providing a regular and reliable route for items purchased fromItaliandealers and auctions.
We are excited to announce our new pricing structure to ship guns bought in Italy.
Import fees from Italy to the USA via consolidated service :
€50 .00 - in addition for every cased gun
*Import fees are per commercial invoice and local charges in Italy may apply when shipping from the seller to Armeria Lenzerini.
Last month, the US Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling striking down the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad import duties.
As an importer, we have not yet received any official guidance on if or how refunds for these tariffs might be claimed on behalf of our customers. At this stage, the process for reclaiming duties remains unclear, and it is possible that additional rules or procedures will be issued in the coming months. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available, ensuring that any opportunities to recover eligible tariffs are communicated promptly.
As we do every month, we’ve compiled a list of upcoming auctions so you don’t have to keep track! Starting this month, we’ll also be includingItalianauction dates to broaden and diversify the opportunities available to you.
