Machinery Shipping Considerations
Machinery entering the EU through France must meet EU import and, in many cases, CE conformity documentation requirements distinct from Canadian standards — confirm what applies to your equipment before shipping.
Documentation
- Bill of lading
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- EU import documentation / CE conformity documents where applicable
Customs Notes
As an EU member state, France's import rules follow EU customs regulations, including VAT and duty assessments that differ from non-EU destinations.
