What to consider when shipping to France
Every market is different and has its own rules and regulations. If your parcel’s destination is outside the UK, there are requirements you need to think about.
Customs declarations needed for shipping to France
If you’re sending a parcel to France, a trade declaration is a must. Cross borders with confidence by planning ahead for customs. FedEx offers a variety of online resources and customs tools, including FedEx International Shipping Assist, to help you find the Harmonised System Code for your international shipment, the estimated duties and taxes and templates for the customs documents you’ll need. You can even upload your own trade documents through FedEx® Electronic Trade Documents. No more printing, signing, folding, and attaching your documents to your shipment. If you’d like, FedEx can complete the customs declaration on your behalf, but you’ll be responsible for completing a commercial invoice. Keep in mind that customs duties and taxes can have a significant impact on the total cost of sending a parcel from the UK to France. They must be paid to the authorities before shipments can be released from customs. Need more information about the clearance process?
