Thats kinda crazy. So what happens when someone from Italy orders something
from my BrickBay store ? (someone has, twice already)

Actually, I doubt that the USPS cares that much. Its probably an Italian customs
rule. Likewise, what happens if I get an order from an APO/FPO address where the
destination location (unbeknownst to me) is in Italy. I know that most (all ?)
APO addresses require a customs form.
I had one incident a few years ago where an ebay buyer wanted me to ship to an
APO address and kept insisting that no customs form was required. The USPS would
not accept the package without one.
