Import VAT and Taxation in France – Detailed Guidance


Import VAT Refund Requirements in France

To reclaim import VAT in France, you must submit detailed customs papers, invoices, and transport documents. Proof of French VAT payment and a registered French VAT number are usually required. Our experts are here to help you gather everything you need. 


Reclaiming Import VAT on a DDP Shipment

Companies can reclaim import VAT on DDP shipments by meeting specific criteria and providing proof of payment. An experienced importer of record is crucial for a smooth process. 


How Import Duties and Taxes are Calculated

French customs assess duties and taxes based on the value of your goods, including additional fees. Accurate documentation is essential to avoid extra costs, and our guidance ensures you get it right. 


DDP Import for EU Sales: VAT and Compliance

When you import into France with DDP and sell to other EU countries, you must register for VAT in France. This enables intra-community deliveries. You’ll need an EU EORI number, as your GB EORI number will no longer work in the EU, and appoint a customs representative or broker. In this scenario, you only pay customs duties, while import VAT is later deducted on your VAT return—no advance VAT payment is required. 


Why DDP is a Smart Choice

Choosing DDP simplifies international trade. It lets non-European companies enter the EU market without a physical presence, reducing costs and complexity. Our DDP solution removes obstacles like UK customs fees and regulatory challenges, allowing you to focus on growing your brand. Operate like a local, reclaim import VAT easily, and meet VAT compliance effortlessly.
