Customs advice for shipping to France
When you ship a package to France from the US, you will be required to supply a customs declaration, which details the goods you're sending and the value for each item. When you book with Parcel Monkey, we'll help you complete this as part of the booking process. Depending on what you're sending, customs charges may apply, and these will need to be paid by the recipient before your parcel is released.
France also has some specific import restrictions to be aware of: gambling devices can only be imported by casinos via specific organisations; jewellery imports require a detailed invoice; personal effects must be for the consignee's own use and owned by the sender for six months or more; and plant material is assessed at a single French airport, which can cause delays. You should also note the restrictions on sending plastic kitchenware into France.
The following items are restricted or prohibited from import to France:
Rubber erasers resembling food
Non-fire-retardant pyjamas
Toys containing copper sulphate
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, so if in doubt please contact our customer support team before you book your delivery.
