Despite its ideal location, importing into France has its challenges. For starters, to ship anywhere in the EU, you will need to list an Importer of Record that has an Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) Number. This number allows French customs to track your shipment throughout Europe.
The French also impose high tariffs on imports, with taxes and duties both being in the region of 21%. France also applies a 20% VAT rate. TecEx’s complete DDP solution takes on all the risks and responsibilities associated with global trade in France.
As an EU member state, importing into France can be a relatively quick process, taking as little as one week for a shipment to reach its final delivery. However, you will still need a locally registered entity to act as the IOR to clear your goods through customs and handle the complex compliance requirements to avoid potential delays.
