Customs
San Marino is not in the EU, but has a customs union with the EU (Cooperation and Customs Union Agreement of 1991) covering all products except coal and steel. Goods from the EU therefore arrive duty-free. San Marino lies outside the EU VAT area, however, and levies its own import tax (imposta monofase) instead of VAT, typically 17% on standard goods. Parcels are physically delivered via Italy (San Marino is an enclave); tax matters are handled by Ufficio Tributario di San Marino.

Frequently asked questions
Is San Marino in the EU? How does customs work?
San Marino is not in the EU, but forms a customs union with it, so a parcel from an EU country pays no customs duty. As it lies outside the EU VAT area, a local import tax applies instead (imposta monofase, typically 17%). Parcels physically travel via the Italian postal network or a courier.
