Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli — Auction Notices

The Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli is the Italian customs and state monopolies authority, and this page is its own publication channel for auction notices — avvisi di vendita all'asta. Goods reach it the way customs goods always do: seized at the border or inland, forfeited after proceedings, and then disposed of rather than destroyed where the law allows.

What you can buy

• Vehicles seized or abandoned in customs procedures.
• Consumer goods and stock from commercial seizures.
• Boats and vessels, where a coastal office is disposing of them.
• Miscellaneous forfeited property.

How the bidding works

Notices are published by the individual customs office rather than centrally auctioned, so each carries its own venue, deadline and procedure — commonly a sealed written offer by a stated date rather than live bidding. The site is available in Italian and English, though the notices themselves are Italian documents.

What to check before you bid

A sealed-offer sale gives you one attempt, so the valuation has to be done before the deadline. Customs goods are sold as they stand and the notice is the only description you get. Note also that counterfeit and restricted goods are destroyed rather than sold, so what reaches these notices is the legitimate remainder of a seizure.
