However, you will need to rely on the services of a professional company if you want to import here promptly. There is plenty of documentation that you are going to submit and this includes:
- Driver’s License.
- Social Security card.
- Power of Attorney ( Signed )
- Insurance.
- Title and registration.
Additionally, your agent will provide you with all the requirements for the paperwork as per the French Customs Authority requirements.
Requirements of French Customs.
You would have to be very well aware of the regulations set forth by the government before you have your it moved. It’s important to follow them precisely if you want to ensure a smooth transition. Some of the rules are as follows.
You would first need to make sure that the necessary modifications on your vehicles are duly carried out. You need to meet all of the requirements to get clearance. You need to have the registration documents about the automobile which shows your name and you’d have to provide a bill of sale or commercial invoice for it. There is an applicable VAT at 19.6% of the total value and you have to pay it to gain clearance. Other import duties are going to be collected by the French Customs at the entry port. If you have a commercial invoice the duties and taxes would be based on it. If you don’t have it, your auto has to be assessed by an agent based on the Blue Book as listed in the USA. You would also have to file a T1 Declaration to use the automobile on the roadways of the country. Once it’s cleared, you have to apply for registration and get a domestic license plate to operate it. This has to be done within 4 months after you enter the country. If you intend to import a vehicle that is over 4 years old, you will need to submit the French Control Certificate.
Before Delivery.
Before the shipment, you are going to have to work with an agent to ensure that the necessary documents are for the procedure to go any further. You would also have to consider the total cost which is going to be based on a variety of different factors such as the weight and size and your choice of method. However, you should get the total amount before moving to plan for it. There is one major port that accepts import and that’s the La Havre Cruise Port. You can haul by air as well.
The two major water-bound methods to France are the RORO and container option. The first would allow you to export cheaply and fast as it’s without a doubt the fastest water-bound method. However, it’s pretty inconvenient if you want to import other personal belongings as they are not allowed. You can leave only your jack, floor mats, and spare time in your car and nothing left. If you want to move other personal belongings along with your vehicle, you’d have to use container one and choose between 20ft and 40ft containers as per your demands. This would provide the best protection and it’s also going to be a bit more expensive and slow as more check-ups will take place.
