Q: Can I use CONAI's simplified procedure for imported goods?

Importers of filled packaging can in some cases declare by a simplified procedure: a flat €131 per tonne of packaging (“per tara”), or a share of the value of the goods — 0.25% for food, 0.11% for non-food (“a valore”) — from 1 October 2026. Eligibility has conditions, and the choice holds for the calendar year.

Quick answer

Sometimes. From 1 October 2026: a flat €131 per tonne of packaging (“per tara”), or 0.25% of the value of food products and 0.11% of non-food products (“a valore”). Eligibility has conditions and the choice holds for the calendar year. For a seller with light packaging and valuable goods, the ordinary per-material route is often cheaper; we check before choosing.
