In brief: how to start a business as express courier in Italy

If a Company wants to provide the express courier business activity to haul mail boxes between retail customers (for example either with custom declaration code CN22 or CN23) till the switch point settled abroad, should know the following info.

First of all, it should know that in Italy is not possible to get a switching point for the mail sorting  due to the fact that, managed all the customing issues, each courier will have its own warehouse where to sort all the packs and mails.

In light of what above stated, the express courier might get an autorization/licence from the Public Administration. In brief, it'll need two different autorizations/licences.

The first licence must be issued from the Telecomunication Minister (Ministero delle telecomunicazioni) and covers only the autorization to provide the service of boxes and mails distribution within the italy borders and for packs up to a 30 kg weigh.

 Above those limits and, as said before, for the deliveries out of the Italian borders, it's required a different licence, provided for the international transports, which is issued by the Transports Minister and it is given only to companies which have specific requirements. 

However, to be fair, the transport license is not necessary for those companies that use for the hauling vans whose weigh is not outstripping the 6t, yet for those kind of hauling is anyway required the licence for mails and boxes deliveries.

To complete the picture, it's now necessary to talk about the custom's profile, without entering in the fiscal profile.

The express courier, in case works with foreign countries with inbound deliveries, can be accredited as customs broker and work as substitute for customer's fees paymentssubstitute for customs' duty's payiments, and sort directly the packs containing goodies from abroad, but to do that it's required to have an internal custom's responsible.
