Good to know before importing into France
Labels in French
Instructions and safety information must be in French. We have the factory print them correctly.
Triman and EPR
Many products and packaging need the Triman logo and an extended producer responsibility registration. Plan this before your first shipment.
Paperwork for the EU
Customs in France can ask for the declaration of conformity and test reports. We get them from the factory before you pay the balance.
Questions from France
Can we work in French?
Yes, entirely. Emails, calls and your sourcing report can be handled in French.
Le Havre or Marseille?
Marseille-Fos is often faster for southern France. Le Havre is closer to Paris. Our freight partner compares both.
How much does a sourcing report cost?
A flat research fee covers one product, and each additional product is quoted as an add-on. The exact amount is confirmed before we begin.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can start with a single product in any quantity. The research fee remains the same.
Request a quote
Describe the product you need. Within 48 hours, we reply with the next steps and a quote for your sourcing report.
No obligation. The fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
