International Wine Shipping: Global Solutions for Private Individuals and Businesses

Exporting the excellence of Italian wine requires a highly specialised logistics partner. International wine shipping is not simply transport: it involves managing complex customs regulations, complying with local excise duties and taking the utmost care to preserve the integrity of the product. IWS Srl offers an "all-inclusive" service dedicated to both wineries (B2B) and private clients (B2C), guaranteeing safe deliveries worldwide.

Our Services for International Wine Shipping

Thanks to our global network and direct branches, we are able to cover every need related to wine export:

• Shipments to Private Individuals and Businesses: We manage the entire logistics and customs process for deliveries to any international destination.
• Focus on USA, Switzerland and UK: We hold direct import licences for the most strategic markets, offering a service without intermediaries.
• Sample Dispatch: Dedicated service for sending wine samples to industry publications, journalists and international wine competitions (e.g. Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast).
• Trade Fairs and Events: Complete logistics management for the shipment of wine and food products destined for trade fairs, webinars and masterclasses abroad.
• Fine Wines and Auction Houses: Highest-security, fully insured transport for collectible bottles and fine art.

Customs, Excise Duties and Import Licences

The true added value of IWS lies in its customs expertise. We operate as a Tax Warehouse with our own excise number (IT00CNV00358B), managing the issuance of e-AD documents and excise procedures throughout Europe. For non-EU shipments, we handle complete customs clearance, relieving the client of all bureaucratic obligations. Whether it is a single bottle for a private individual or an entire container for a distributor, we guarantee full compliance with the regulations of the destination country.

Temperature-Controlled Transport

Wine is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, especially during long international journeys. For this reason, IWS exclusively uses air-conditioned warehouses and temperature-controlled vehicles. Whether the shipment travels by air (Air Freight) or by sea (Sea Freight), we ensure that the cold chain is maintained, protecting the organoleptic qualities of your wine through to delivery.

Trust the Wine Shipping Specialists

Beyond transport, IWS offers fiscal consultancy, bespoke packaging design and logistics support for e-commerce businesses and protection consortia. Choosing IWS means entrusting your wine to those who truly understand its value.
