Sending a Parcel to France

Sending a Parcel to France

The popularity of France has increased dramatically in recent years, with more people choosing to live abroad, own holiday homes in France or move to the UK from France too. As a result, it is not surprising that France is an incredibly popular destination to send parcels to.

If you are looking to send a parcel to France, it is crucial that you take the time to make sure that your goods can be sent, won’t get held up at customs and will be protected during their journey.

Brexit has affected how parcels are sent from the UK to EU countries. Read our guide to Brexit basics here.

Before sending your parcel to France, you should:

  • Be aware that the recipient may need to pay VAT
  • Some items have a restriction on the amount that can be sent, make sure you do your research to stop your goods being rejected by customs
  • Take care completing customs documentation to ensure that it is accurate
  • Pack your parcel well using strong boxes and bubble wrap to keep your items safe during their journey

Sending Parcels to the EU & Brexit

Sending Parcels to the EU & Brexit

Following Brexit, some changes have come in that will affect you when sending a parcel from the UK to France.

A free trade deal has been agreed by the government and the EU, which means that no duties should be applied to your shipment, however, your recipient may need to pay VAT at their local rate based on the value of your goods and the carriage charge.

All shipments to the EU will now also require a commercial or pro-forma invoice. When you book online with Worldwide Parcel Services, we will automatically generate this for you and send it to your courier. If you are sending as a business, you will be required to enter your EORI number when booking.

You can find out more about Brexit and shipping to the EU here.

What Can I Not Send to France

Regardless of where in the world you are sending a parcel to, there will be limitations and restrictions as to what you can send in a parcel. France and the wider European Union are no exception to this rule. To enable France to protect their residents and keep potential pests from other countries out of their borders, there are some items that cannot be sent.

Example items that you cannot send to France include:

  • Firearms or ammunition
  • Explosive or radioactive materials
  • Currency
  • Metals, stones or jewellery
  • Playing cards
  • Live plants and animals
  • Human remains
  • Food containing saccharine
  • Ivory or ivory products
  • Plants
  • Pornographic material
  • Tobacco or tobacco products

Can I post cheese to France?

As cheese is a perishable food product, it can not be sent in the post or in a parcel to France.

Before Sending a Parcel to France
