How to get products from France or Europe to any country
France is renowned for its luxury market, incredible fashion, amazing delicacies, and unique niche products. Similarly, each country within the European Union boasts a rich concentration of diverse cultures, creating a varied and vibrant single-consumer market filled with specialized products and niche commerce.
However, it can sometimes be challenging to transport these products within the union, and often even more so outside of it! While the products you desire are available here, you may not be.
But there’s no need to worry we got you! We are going to explain how to export products from France and Europe to wherever you live in the world.
Make a List of Products You Want Forwarded to you
Start listing the products you wish to acquire. They can be from any online e-commerce platform or even a brick-and-mortar shop in France or any country within the Schengen area and the European Union.
You may only need a single item, but you might also want to take the opportunity to get your fix of French goods. It would be much more cost-effective for you if you do it all at once.
Facing a language barrier? Don’t worry, we speak French and can manage this part for you. We also facilitate purchases from websites that might restrict payment methods to local or European users. For instance, platforms like Vinted and LeBonCoin are within our expertise.
It’s much easier than you would think
Understand Your Country’s Import Rules
It’s essential to know the import regulations in your country. In most cases, there are no issues.
If you are within the EU and Schengen area, you are in luck, as products generally move freely.
For those outside the EU, be aware that special regulations may apply. In some countries, specific rules may exist, for instance, regarding food items and plants. If you are unsure, send us a message. Our experienced team of French shipping agents will be happy to assist you.
Get Your Products’ Dimensions
Product dimensions are typically listed on e-commerce sites. Note these down or estimate them if not listed. Carriers calculate shipping costs based on four key dimensions: length, height, width, and weight.
You need to combine these dimensions if you are consolidating packages. For example, if you have a 10x8x5 cm, 1 kg package and a 40x30x20 cm, 3 kg package, a quick way to estimate the size of the final package is to add the largest dimensions of each package together. Using our example, it would be 50x30x20 cm, 4 kg.
Precise measures help in getting an accurate quote. But don’t worry, we will calculate the final dimensions of your package for you and adjust its shipping accordingly!
