How to Import Handbags from China to France
Published: August 23, 2026 | 8 min read
France uses DELT/DEVRONIC for customs declarations, has a 20% standard VAT, and a unique EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) for packaging run by Citeo. If you sell on Amazon.fr or Cdiscount, the EPR registration is enforced at the listing level — Amazon will block your ASIN without a valid Citeo ID.
