France is a lucrative market,
but a logistical fortress.

Entering the French and European market requires navigating complex regulations, language barriers, and strict compliance standards that can halt your shipments at the border.

Strict customs

Complex HS codes, EORI registration, and CE norms can get your goods blocked at the border.

Language barrier

Struggling to negotiate with French transporters or warehouses? We speak their language.

Fiscal complexity

VAT handling and fiscal representation are mandatory for non-EU companies.

Your operations team on the ground

We handle the operational complexity of entering France and the EU, so you can focus on growing your business.

Compliance check

Before you ship: We validate your HS Codes, labeling (Toubon Law), and import duties to avoid penalties.

What we handle:

  • HS Code classification and verification
  • Product labeling compliance (French law)
  • Import duties and VAT calculation
  • CE marking requirements
  • REACH/RoHS validation (if applicable)
