Move Car France

Shipping a International car internationally can seem like a daunting process, but with the right information and a reputable car transport company, it can be done in a smooth and efficient process.

The great news is there are a variety of resources and tools at your disposal, the website for the French Embassy in Washington being by far the most helpful (http://www.ambafrance-us.org/spip?article782).

The most general rules apply to private vehicles, which consist, for all intents and purposes, of motor cars designed to transport people, and also include motorcycles. Other rules and restrictions apply to vehicles for other purposes, such as trucks.

Custom Duty Calculations for Car Shipping

Unlike many countries, where the customs duties are varied and therefore hard to determine ahead of time, France offers a simple formula, so you can be prepared as to what to expect. Please note, that these results are only estimates, and you should always verify directly with French Customs before shipping your vehicle.

All of the percentages listed below are based on the value of the imported vehicle, verified by either a commercial invoice showing transaction value (tax excluded), plus (if applicable) the cost of transport and insurance, and the value of any equipment incorporated in the vehicle.

  • Automobiles: 10% Customs Duty.
  • Motor Homes: 10% Customs Duty.
  • Motorcycles: 9% Customs Duty.
  • House Trailers/Trailers: 5.3% Customs Duty.

If you cannot provide a commercial invoice showing the value of the vehicle, the value will be assessed by a publication similar to Kelley Blue Book, or the manufacturer’s selling price of your vehicle.

Overseas Car Transport Methods Offered through A1

A1 Auto Transport has four methods of transport for shipping heavy or large cargo overseas. The methods available to you depend on the type of heavy equipment or oversized cargo you plan on transporting to France. Our professionals will help you with your choices when you call in to schedule your shipping process but below is a little insight on all of our international shipping options.

  • Container Transport- This transport method is our most expensive option. However, it provides the utmost security. Your cargo is protected from outdoor elements such as inclement weather since it is shielded by walls and a ceiling.
  • Flat Rack Shipping- Your cargo is fastened to a metal frame or flat rack then placed atop the ship. This extra security prevents the cargo from moving and shifting during its transport.
  • Lift On/Lift Off (LoLo)- This method is recommended to those with inoperable vehicles as well as those with crated heavy equipment. A crane is used to lift the cargo onto and off of the ship carefully.
  • Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo)- Those that have operational equipment and cars can take advantage of our open-air service, which is the cheapest shipping option we offer. If the country's seaports do not permit RoRo imports, this method is often combined with ground transport.
