Italy is the third-largest economy in the EU and a global manufacturing powerhouse, with major exports including machinery, motor vehicles, pharmaceuticals, fashion and apparel, food products, and luxury goods. As an EU member, Italy applies the Common External Tariff and participates in EU free trade agreements, while its ports such as Genoa, Trieste, and Gioia Tauro serve as critical gateways for Mediterranean and European trade. Italy is a top trading partner for many countries due to its strong industrial base and global brand recognition in sectors like automotive, fashion, and food.
Italy's top exports include machinery and mechanical appliances, motor vehicles and parts, pharmaceuticals, refined petroleum, clothing and footwear, food products (especially wine, olive oil, and cheese), and luxury goods.
Italy applies the EU Common External Tariff to imports from non-EU countries. Preferential rates may apply for countries with EU free trade agreements, and VAT (currently standard rate 22%) is levied on most imports.
Italy's largest trading partners include Germany, France, the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, and China, with significant trade flows also to Switzerland, Belgium, and Poland.
