Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can you move me from anywhere in the USA?
Yes. We arrange USA to France removals from all states to all departments of France.
-
How far in advance should I start planning my USA to France removals?
It’s best to begin planning at least 8–12 weeks before your intended move date. This gives ample time for a home survey, accurate quotation, securing packing dates and preparing customs documentation. Booking early also helps secure your preferred shipping window and often better pricing.
-
What documentation do I need for French customs clearance?
For duty‑free import of personal effects into France, you typically need:
- Passport and visa/residence permit
- Proof of French address (rental agreement or property deed)
- Detailed inventory of your belongings
- Attestation sur l’honneur and residence transfer documentation
These requirements help French customs verify eligibility for exemptions.
4. Will I have to pay French VAT and duties on my goods?
If your move qualifies as a transfer of residence and your goods have been owned and used for at least six months, they can usually be imported duty‑free. If conditions aren’t met, French VAT (typically 20%) and possible duties may apply. Your removals specialist can advise based on your situation.
-
Can I ship only part of my household rather than everything?
Yes. Clients can choose groupage or shared‑container options (also called part‑load) to reduce costs. You pay only for the space you use, making it ideal for smaller households or partial shipments.
