The General Directorate of Customs and Indirect Duties (DGDDI) indicates that “the Vatican is not part of the customs territory of the European Union defined in article 4 of the Customs Code of the Union. The entry of Vatican goods into EU territory is therefore analyzed as an import. It is necessary to carry out the specific formalities relating to the importation of vehicles from outside the EU”. Consequently, the owner of a vehicle coming from the Vatican will have to present a customs certificate 846A.
