What's the difference from fulfillment? Which one should I pick?

**Storage:** Your goods sit on racks. No order processing, packing or shipping. Ideal for wholesale stock, export, seasonal inventory and temporary import storage. **Fulfillment:** Storage + pick & pack + shipping + returns + Amazon IT/eBay IT integration — built for e-commerce. Pick fulfillment if you sell online, storage if you only need warehousing. You can combine both with a 15% discount.

How does billing work? IVA and SDI?

Monthly invoicing in EUR via **SDI Electronic Invoice** (mandatory in Italy since 2019). IVA 22% standard, 10%/4% reduced rates on specific categories. All amounts shown excl. VAT. Payment 30 days from invoice via SEPA bank transfer or direct debit.

Which products do you accept?

Standard commercial goods: apparel, footwear, accessories, cosmetics (notified to Ministero Salute), electronics (RAEE WEEE compliant), household items, books, toys, furniture, white goods, non-hazardous raw materials, packaged non-food goods. NOT accepted: flammable/explosive chemicals (flash point €50,000.

Is there a minimum stock? Can I start with 100 items?

No minimum stock. You can start with a single carton (€2.50–4.50/month). Minimum contract is 3 months (to cover setup), then cancellable any time. Goods returned within 30 days; transport on you.

How does stock insurance work?

Free insurance up to €1,000 of declared value (fire, water, theft, natural disasters). Above that, 0.3–0.5% annual premium (invoiced separately by Generali, Allianz or AXA). Damage reports filed within 72 hours and forwarded to the insurer.

Can I see stock levels live?

Yes. The ZunaPro panel is available 24/7: SKU-level stock, rack location, last movement, declared value, photo intake report. Detailed monthly PDF report e-mailed — GDPR / Garante Privacy compliant. Tracking also via mobile app.

How fast can you release goods? What is the cutoff?

**Standard:** 24-hour notice, loaded by 10:00 the next morning. **Daily cutoff:** orders received before **14:00 CET** ship same day. Pick up via own truck or partner carrier (BRT, GLS, Poste Italiane). **Urgent:** same-day release possible (request by 11:00) — extra fee €14/pallet.

Storage in Italy: Customs Warehouses, the Trieste Free Port and Distretti Industriali Stockage

In Italy, storage is not just stacking pallets — it is the intersection of customs status, IVA accounting, insurance and Distretto-coordinated inventory. For a non-EU brand, the three formats are magazzino fiscale (standard), magazzino doganale (bonded customs warehouse) and porto franco (the Trieste free port). The Zunapro storage stack combines pallet/m³ contracts with Codice Univoco-bound outbound invoicing and SDI fatturazione passiva.

Magazzino fiscale, doganale, and the Trieste free port

Magazzino fiscale: the goods are cleared, IVA-paid, ready for sale. Magazzino doganale: customs and IVA are suspended; the cargo can be re-exported outside the EU or declared into Italy and taxed. Porto Franco Trieste: a historic free port with combined customs + IVA exemption; strategic for Central Europe, the Balkans and Turkey re-export.

Type	IVA status	Customs	Use case
Magazzino fiscale	Paid	Free circulation	Domestic sale
Magazzino doganale	Suspended	Bonded	Re-export / transformation
Porto Franco Trieste	Exempt	Free port	Balkan + CEE hub
IT VAT warehouse	Suspended	Free	Pan-EU liquidity

Pallet €/month and m³ €/month pricing

EUR pallets (80×120 cm) monthly: Milan €18–€28, Bologna €14–€22, Padua €13–€20, Rome €16–€24, Naples €12–€18. Per-m³ tariffs (small e-commerce SKUs) €4.80–€7.20 per month; cold-chain 0–4°C €9.80–€14.50 per month. Inbound €2.50/pallet, outbound €1.80/pallet, labelling €0.15/SKU.

Distretti Industriali storage strategy

Manufacturers anchored in Distretti Industriali (Prato textiles, Sassuolo ceramics, Tuscany leather, Marche footwear) either hold stock at a regional hub (Pistoia near Prato, Modena near Sassuolo) or push it into a Milan metro warehouse. Regional: m² 30% cheaper, +15% distribution cost. Milan: fast rotation + same-day. The hybrid model wins in most cases.

FatturaPA SDI fatturazione passiva: the inbound invoice

A container from Turkey landing in an Italian customs warehouse triggers a fatturazione passiva (inbound invoice) at the moment customs and IVA are settled. That invoice arrives via SDI on your Codice Univoco; the Zunapro ERP module classifies it and maps it onto stock cards. CIF + duty + IVA 22% are calculated; in a magazzino doganale, IVA is deferred until point-of-sale.

Insurance: COMS, EUROCONS, Italiana Assicurazioni, Generali

Italian warehouse insurance is typically underwritten by COMS, EUROCONS, Italiana Assicurazioni or Generali. Annual premium: fire + theft + water-damage combination, 0.35–0.55% of inventory value. Operating a magazzino doganale additionally requires a "garanzia fidejussoria" (bank guarantee or cash) at 100% of contingent customs + IVA.

WMS integration: TeamSystem, Zucchetti, Manhattan, Generix

Italian 3PLs mostly run Manhattan WMS, Generix WMS or TeamSystem Lynfa WMS; Zucchetti Ad Hoc Logistica is popular mid-market. The Zunapro panel connects to all four via REST or EDIFACT D96A and synchronises orders, stock levels, DDT (irsaliye) and FatturaPA SDI in one loop.

Seasonal planning: Saldi + Natale + Black Friday

The Italian retail year flows: January Saldi (winter), May Festa della Mamma, July Saldi (summer), September "Vendemmia" food, 11.11, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Natale. Inventory rule: Natale stock in early September (22% of annual sales), Black Friday by late October (14%), Saldi Invernali pre-stock in early December. The Zunapro forecasting engine learns 12-month seasonality per SKU and prescribes.
