Full Details
Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Fresh Fruit sent to France typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult Direction générale des douanes et droits indirects (DGDDI — French Customs) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.
Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. Direction générale des douanes et droits indirects (DGDDI — French Customs) computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
La Poste and customs handle international postal clearance. VAT applies on all low-value goods as of July 2021. Items above €150 require full customs import procedures and payment of duty.
