PACKING TIPS
How to prepare your parcel for delivery to France
If you could only do one thing to ensure your parcel will be delivered to France safe and sound, this thing would be to use correct packaging. To do that, we recommend using sturdy cardboard boxes as the outer packaging and following the steps below for preparing it:
- Choose a box that is slightly bigger than the item
- Wrap each item individually with bubble wrap
- Place everything in the box and fill the voids with cushioning materials
- Use tape to close and secure the box
Customs clearance when sending a parcel to France
If you send a parcel to France from any other country within the EU, your shipment will not go through customs. However, international parcel deliveries to France coming from countries outside the EU will go through regular customs clearance procedures. This means that a commercial or proforma invoice should accompany your shipment, and you may need to fill out a customs declaration.
