Importing technology into France requires careful navigation of local customs, taxation, and compliance laws to avoid costly delays.
France adheres to the EU Common Customs Tariff. Many enterprise servers and networking components enter duty-free under the WTO ITA, but specific electronics can face duties up to 14%.
A standard 20% Value-Added Tax (TVA) is applied to all imports. France has implemented a mandatory reverse-charge VAT mechanism (autoliquidation de la TVA) for all B2B imports, requiring careful local accounting.
