FAQ
DDP shipping to France FAQ
What DDP covers, self-assessed TVA, DDP vs DAP, the EORI question, and delivery scope.
What does DDP shipping to France include?
Freight, DELTA customs entry, EU common tariff duty, 20% self-assessed TVA, and delivery — one number, itemised.
Why is French TVA self-assessed under DDP?
Since 2022 import TVA is self-assessed on the French VAT return rather than paid at the border. For a VAT-registered business this improves cash flow. The prerequisite is a French VAT registration, which we confirm before booking.
DDP or DAP for France?
DDP if you want a fixed landed cost with the TVA mechanism handled. DAP if you have a French entity and broker and prefer to file your own entry. Under DAP, duty and TVA remain yours.
Does a German EORI work for France DDP?
Yes — an EU EORI from any member state is valid across the union. What you also need is a French VAT registration for the self-assessed TVA, which is France-specific.
Can you deliver DDP to a French DC or 3PL?
Yes. The delivery address is priced into the landed cost whether it is a business, warehouse, or 3PL.
