Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Can I choose in which countries to activate D2C Customs?

Of course! The choice is entirely yours. Among the active countries, you can decide where to use D2C Customs as you prefer.

Where and How is the Management Fee Applied?

The management fee applies only to the taxable amount of the product sold and managed through D2C Customs. Therefore, it only applies to the countries you have chosen to enable with Direct from Italy. Remember an essential feature: you decide whether the management fee is absorbed by the company or passed on to the end customer as part of the shipping cost.

Where can I install D2C Customs?

The D2C Customs Plug-in is installed directly in your proprietary E-Commerce or Wine Club; it is completely transparent and activates only for the customs duty quoting phase at checkout.

Alternatively, if you don’t have an e-commerce platform, you can use our order management system (for point of sale or remote orders) accessible from the PAD control dashboard. Or you can request the software to manage self-ordering from the point of sale, available for your end customers. Discover it now: Direct from Producer

What functions does D2C Customs have?

D2C Customs enables you to be completely independent in managing your direct-to-consumer sales to private customers abroad.

The system allows you to easily and automatically manage: customs paperwork, calculations of tax and customs duties, and shipping costs for your alcoholic beverages. This way, you can open a direct sales channel to your customers without needing importers or tax warehouses at the destination.

Excise duties, tariffs, and VAT at destination (according to OSS regulations for the EU) will no longer be an obstacle to your sales, as they will be quoted directly in your e-commerce cart and clearly presented to your end customer. The system will connect you directly to customs and integrated logistics.

How is customs management handled?

You won’t need to establish customs relationships with each individual country you want to target, nor handle customs clearance because we will take care of it for you.

This way, in addition to saving a lot of time and resources, you will have made the entire process practical and automatic.

On which devices can I receive orders?

From your online e-commerce from your customers, on your foreign Amazon storefronts (only for Sellers in the EU), but you can also transform your e-commerce into a system to receive orders directly at the winery with payment on-site!

Potentially, you can use it on any device that has an internet connection, and it can also be used by the customer (for example, by providing them with a tablet).

How is the order payment processed?

The payment comes from the customer directly to YOU, without any type of intermediary, already including all customs, tax duties, and shipping costs.

You are free to manage the sale and payment using your preferred methods.

If the customer orders online, you will receive the payment according to the payment methods you have already set up. If you also use the system at the point of sale, you can receive payments directly in cash or via POS from your customer.

What changes in my e-commerce by adding the D2C Customs Plug-in?

NOTHING! Everything remains the same; the D2C Customs Plug-in integrates completely transparently and will only activate at the checkout phase to show your customer the quote for excise duties, tariffs, VAT (at destination according to OSS regulations), and shipping costs.

You can choose how to display costs and customs duties; whether aggregated in a single item or separately.

What types of alcoholic beverages can I sell? Can I also sell other products?

Wine, beer, spirits, intermediate products, food, juices, oil, gadgets, merchandising, special boxes, bundles – sell what you want, where you want, with no quantity limits.

Need to manage all types of alcoholic beverages simultaneously? Request the MAGNUM or JEROBOAM version.

What should I do once the D2C Customs is active and I have received an order from the customer?

You won’t have to manage any customs bureaucracy or contact any courier.

All you need to do is properly pack the box with certified packaging and apply the shipping label that you will automatically receive via email from our integrated logistics.

All documentation will indeed be managed by our system along with logistics.

How is the pickup done, directly at the company or through external storage?

By default, we organize direct pickup at the winery, with no additional cost.

Alternatively, you have the option to request outsourcing and picking packing through the logistics connected to our system with the PRO, PLUS, and ENTERPRISE versions.
