This is because FCL shipping is generally more cost-effective for larger volumes and the sealed container from origin to destination ensures the safety and integrity of your goods.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine you're a furniture manufacturer exporting 65 CBM of sofas to France. Choosing FCL shipping allows you to reserve a 40'ft container solely for your product, ensuring the goods are securely sealed and undisturbed during the journey.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> It's also important to note that an FCL shipping quote typically covers the rental and movement of a 20'ft or 40'ft container. While the initial cost might seem higher than LCL (Less-than Container Load) shipping, the<span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong> cost per unit can be significantly lower<\/strong><\/span> when shipping high volumes, thus more economical overall.<br>Keep in mind, with FCL, the entire container must be filled for maximum efficiency regardless of weight.

Each pays only for the space their freight uses.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is ideal when your cargo is less than <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">13\/14\/15 CBM<\/span><\/strong>. This option provides flexibility, especially for businesses that don't have enough goods to fill an entire container, allowing for cost savings.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose you're a boutique furniture store importing unique pieces from France. Your inventory is relatively small, say 10 CBM. Instead of renting a whole container, which might be half-empty, you opt for LCL shipment. That way, you only pay for the actual space your furniture occupies in the shared container, making it a cost-effective choice.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> While LCL freight offers affordability due to shared costs, it may involve <span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>additional handling fees<\/strong><\/span> at the ports for consolidating and deconsolidating the cargo. However, these costs are often substantially lower than booking a full container for a small volume of goods.

Volumetric weight, on the other hand, reflects the amount of space your shipment occupies in the aircraft, not just its actual weight.<\/p><br><p><strong>Sure, let&#8217;s dive into how each is calculated. In the air cargo industry, volumetric weight is determined by multiplying the length, width, and height of each package in centimeters (cm), then dividing the total by 6000. So if you have a box that measures 50cm x 40cm x 30cm, your calculation would be: (50cm x 40cm x 30cm) \/ 6000 = 10kg. This box would have a volumetric weight of 10kg, which converts to around 22 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>However, Express Air Freight services use a different divisor; they divide the total by 5000 instead. Using the same measurements for your box, the calculation would be: (50cm x 40cm x 30cm) \/ 5000 = 12kg, giving a volumetric weight of 12kg, converted to about 26.4 lbs.<\/p><br><p>For gross weight, it&#8217;s simply the physical weight of your shipment, as it is, on a scale. So if our box weighed 15kg on a scale, that&#8217;s about 33 lbs, that&#8217;s your gross weight.<\/p><br><p>These calculations matter because freight charges are based on whichever is higher between the gross and volumetric weight. It ensures shippers pay a fair price for the space their goods occupy within the aircraft, not just their weight.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-116bbe03 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"116bbe03\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-558b4f02 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"558b4f02\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29940263 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29940263\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and France<\/h2><br><p>International <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">door-to-door shipping<\/a> bridges the gap from your American doorstep all the way to the heart of France.

Here lies the essence of a savvy importer. Duties, invariably, get determined by an amalgamation of factors like the country of origin or production, the <strong><a style=\"color: #920d12\" href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized System<\/a><\/strong> (HS) code of your product, its <strong>customs value<\/strong>, and the applicable <strong>tariff rate<\/strong>. Adding to this, other additional fees and taxes might apply based on the product or goods you&#8217;re importing.<\/p><br><p>Your first step in this <strong>calculation process<\/strong> is to pinpoint the <strong>country where the goods were manufactured or produced<\/strong>. This is paramount as it sets the basis for further calculations and procedures on the way to successful importing. Indeed, a misstep or <strong>miscalculation<\/strong> at this stage can have a <strong>domino effect<\/strong> on subsequent processes and your final import costs.

First, it defines the applicable trade agreements. Between the US and France, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/t\/transatlantic-trade-and-investment-partnership-ttip.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership<\/strong><\/a> (TTIP) plays a crucial role in minimizing duty rates.<\/p><br><p>Second, it determines import restrictions. For instance, certain agricultural goods from the US face strict regulations due to <strong>European Union standards<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p>Third, it influences the calculation of <strong>Value Added Tax<\/strong> (VAT), which is based on the total cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value of your shipment. This includes the cost of the goods, shipment, and any duty applicable.<\/p><br><p>Lastly, it&#8217;s a fundamental part of obtaining the <strong>Harmonized System<\/strong> (HS) code; <strong>an internationally standardized system of names and numbers for classifying traded products. This code directly impacts the amount of duty you&#8217;ll owe.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>So, first pinpoint your good&#8217;s country of origin.

Think of customs value as the total<strong> landed cost<\/strong>, somewhat different from the mere product value. It&#8217;s calculated using the CIF (<strong>Cost, Insurance, Freight<\/strong>) method which includes the price of the goods, cost of international shipping and insurance.<\/p><br><p><strong>In this case, if the price of your product is $100, shipping charges are $20, and insurance is $10<\/strong>, your customs value is $130.

For instance, you might face <strong>excise duties<\/strong> on certain goods like alcohol or tobacco, or <strong>anti-dumping taxes<\/strong> designed to protect domestic industry from unfairly low-cost imports.<\/p><br><p>A vital aspect to consider is also the <strong>Value-Added Tax<\/strong> (VAT). In France, the standard VAT rate is 20%, but it can drop to 5.5% or even 2.1% for some goods and services. The calculation for VAT is based on the combined value of your goods, the shipping cost, and any custom duties. For example, if goods cost $10,000, shipping fee is $1,000 and custom duty comes to $700, then the VAT will be calculated as 20% of <strong>($10,000+$1,000+$700)=$2,340<\/strong>. Remember, this is just an illustrative example; actual rates can vary.<\/p><br><p>While dealing with import duties can feel complex, understanding these additional costs helps you anticipate and manage your <strong>shipping expenses<\/strong> more efficiently. Be sure to consult with a <strong>customs expert<\/strong> or your<strong> freight forwarder<\/strong> to review your specific scenario and confirm all applicable fees.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9479e101 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9479e101\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b07c859 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b07c859\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>As you navigate towards step 6 of Customs clearance in France for goods imported from US, it&#8217;s time to compute your <strong>Customs Duties<\/strong>. The calculation hinges on specifics like the<strong> Customs Value<\/strong> (value of your goods), <strong>Value Added Tax<\/strong> (VAT), <strong>Anti-Dumping Taxes, and Excise Duty<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p>Consider these real-world examples:<\/p><br><ol><br><li><strong>With only Customs Duties<\/strong>: If your goods&#8217; worth is $10,000, and the customs duty rate is 5%, you&#8217;ll pay $500 in customs duties.<\/li><br><li><strong>With Customs Duties and VAT<\/strong>: Let&#8217;s say your goods cost $6000, the customs duty rate is 5%, and French VAT is at 20%.

Total = <strong>$1560<\/strong>.<\/li><br><li><strong>With Customs Duties, VAT, Anti-Dumping Taxes, and Excise Duty<\/strong>: If the cost of your goods is $4000, with a 5% customs duty, 20% VAT, 12% anti-dumping tax, and a 2% excise duty. Here, your customs duty is $200, anti-dumping tax is $(4000+200)12% = $504, excise duty is $<strong>(4000+200+504)2% = $94.08<\/strong>, and VAT is $<strong>(4000+200+504+94.08)20% = $959.62<\/strong>.

Opt for an electronic, or &#8216;telex&#8217;, release to accelerate this process and keep your supply chain humming.

The secret weapon? Alignment. Each item on your Commercial Invoice needs to match its counterpart on packing lists or bills of lading. Incorrect or vague descriptions can lead to delays or fines. Here&#8217;s a pro tip: specify origin details if your product qualifies for preferential treatment under the EU-US trade agreement. It could lead to reduced or zero duties.

Imagine you&#8217;re shipping craft furniture made in Alabama to a chic Parisian boutique. By accurately mentioning &#8216;USA&#8217; as the country of manufacture, your unique American-made pieces could benefit from favorable trade agreements, tactically reducing your customs duties.

Unlike the American UL standards, the CE mark is universally recognized in the European market, including France. Before arranging shipment, ensure your merchandise meets CE standards, saving you time, and money in denied entries or returns. Remember, compliance isn&#8217;t just bureaucracy, it&#8217;s a ticket to seamless shipping. Act by cross-referencing your products with the EU\u2019s CE product-groups list, and arranging for the appropriate tests or inspections if required.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f05856e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8f05856e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1fa537f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a1fa537f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<p><h4>Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<\/h4><br><\/p><br><p><br>If your business is shipping goods from the US to France, you&#8217;ll need an EORI Number. Why? Because the EORI (Economic Operator Registration Identification) is a key player in the customs clearance process within the EU. Think of it as your business&#8217;s unique identifier &#8211; a sort of passport for your goods. It helps track imports and exports within not just France, but the entire EU, making customs procedures smoother. Registering for an EORI number might seem like another task on your to-do list, but it&#8217;s well worth the effort. It&#8217;s an essential step that opens the door to seamless trading with France and other EU nations. So be sure to add this to your checklist when planning your next shipment.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-49b46992 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49b46992\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-39e4a350\" data-id=\"39e4a350\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-242b826a elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"242b826a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get Started with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ddb1e07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ddb1e07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNavigating US-France customs clearance can be tricky.
