What is specific to France
Coverage in France
Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Toulouse and every other city and town on the same FedEx and DHL network; the box is delivered to the address in your account. Write the street, building number and postcode exactly as you would locally — that is what the courier relies on at the door.
Customs and tax in France
The EU abolished the €150 duty relief on 1 July 2026: consignments up to €150 now carry a simplified €3 customs duty per item (until July 2028), and anything above €150 pays the normal tariff — roughly 12% on clothing, 8–17% on footwear and usually 0% on electronics. French VAT is 20% from the first euro. The carrier collects VAT and duty before delivery through a payment link and adds a handling fee: FedEx charges 2.5% of the amount with a €15 minimum, plus a €2.40 processing fee on parcels arriving from outside the EU. We prepare the clearance paperwork free of charge, and your purchase invoice travels with the shipment from the moment it leaves.
ID and billing
No tax number is requested for personal parcels; name, address and mobile number are enough. Your invoice is in US dollars exactly as the calculator shows, and your card converts from euro at your bank’s rate; nothing is added after payment.
