Top 5 mistakes of tourists, or what is forbidden to take out of Italy

In order the trip will not be spoiled by the contact with the law enforcement agencies, please remember that you can not export of Italy the goods as follows:

1.  Art objects older than 100 years without permission. To avoid questions about the “age” of a younger souvenir, keep all receipts and certificates.

2.  Counterfeit. You can buy a fake bag and pay a fine of several thousand euros or go to jail.

3.  Shells of endangered species. Or a whole bag of ordinary ones.

4. Stones. Customs officials may think they are plucked from the Colosseum or some other historical landmark.

5.   Food products without factory packaging. And it is advisable not to take out more than 5 kg.

And a bonus tip: check the current rules on bringing things into the country before you travel. After all, 10 bottles of wine can stay at the native customs. And your assurances that it’s for all your relatives and acquaintances won’t save the situation.

We wish you a pleasant trip, bright impressions and buy those souvenirs that you want.
