International Relations
Transfers of import containers from Genoa, La Spezia and Vado Ligure are carried out as A3 (temporary storage) without the issue of a customs document.
This method is the result of a special agreement has in place between RHE and the Italian Customs Authority. Not only does it guarantee a significant cost saving for companies since it does not require the issue of a T1 shipping document or customs clearance lines for goods transit within the national territory, it also allows for containers to leave for the foreign country within 48-72 hours after disembarkation from the ship, thus reducing port costs.
