Milan Malpensa (MXP) is Northern Italy’s primary intercontinental cargo gateway, equipped with dedicated main-deck freighter infrastructure, heavy-lift cranes, and 24/7 unrestricted operations. Linate (LIN) is restricted primarily to intra-European express passenger aircraft and smaller regional feeder charters. For heavy industrial or transcontinental cargo, MXP is the preferred entry hub.
Under Italian tax law, utilizing a VAT Bonded Warehouse (Deposito IVA) allows qualified importers to defer the payment of the 22% Italian Value Added Tax (IVA) at the moment of customs entry. The VAT is accounted for via a reverse-charge mechanism rather than an immediate cash outflow, delivering substantial liquidity benefits for high-value air charter shipments.
Essential documentation includes the Commercial Invoice (with detailed HS Codes), Packing List, Air Waybill (AWB) or House Charter Bill, EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number, and an authorization power of attorney for the licensed Italian customs broker. For regulated goods, additional certificates (health, CITES, or CE declarations) are mandatory.
