How charges are calculated for this route
France assesses duty on the customs value of your shipment including freight and insurance (CIF basis). The base rate depends on the product's HS classification. Since 1 July 2026 the EU no longer exempts low-value parcels from customs duty: e-commerce consignments worth up to 150 EUR pay a flat 3 EUR duty for each item category (tariff line) they contain, a temporary rule that runs until 1 July 2028. VAT is due from the first euro, usually collected at checkout through IOSS. Source: Council of the EU, 12 Dec 2025.
Frequently asked
Do I pay duty on the shipping cost? Yes — France uses the CIF basis, so freight and insurance are added to the goods value before duty is calculated.
