Duty-free import
You have just transferred your primary residence to France. As part of this move, you have imported all your belongings, including your vehicle. To carry out the customs clearance operations, use our services. We use our expertise to handle the necessary administrative procedures.
Our goal is to allow you to benefit from exemption of duties and taxes on the import of your goods.
For this, you must provide us with certain documents:
- An estimated, detailed, dated and signed inventory of the goods (furniture, personal effects, vehicles) in duplicate;
- A certificate of change of residence to authorize customs transit;
- Documents proving that you resided in a third country;
- A tax clearance certificate or a statement of situation.
You will also have to fill in form cerfa 10070 for the declaration of entry into France of personal property from countries outside the EU, on the portal www.douanes.gouv.fr, if you have valuables or goods that require special formalities.
Once you have provided all these documents, we will be able to apply for the admission of your imported goods, free of VAT and customs duties.
In return, the customs authorities will give you:
- A certificate 846 A for the registration of your vehicle in the normal series,
- A free movement card established at your request.
You do not have to complete any customs formalities if you are moving to France from a country in the European Union.
However, you can benefit from the exemption for the import of your personal property if you come from a country outside the European Union. However, you must meet the following conditions:
- You have resided abroad for at least 12 months;
- You have owned and used your personal property for at least 6 months before its transfer.
- You must transfer your goods to France within 12 months of the date of transfer of your residence;
- You may not dispose of (sale, rental, loan, pledge, etc.) goods admitted duty-free for a period of 12 months from the date of their entry into France.
Please note: The exemption scheme applies to the following personal property if it has borne all the customs and/or tax charges for which it is liable in the country of origin or provenance: saddle animals, motorcycles, motor vehicles and their trailers, camping caravans, pleasure boats and tourist aircraft.
