Things to consider when
importing a car from France

  • Deregister the Vehicle in France
    Before exporting, ensure the vehicle is properly deregistered with the French authorities. This involves submitting the necessary forms and returning the license plates.
  • Gather Essential Documentation
    Ensure you have all necessary documents, including:
    - Original French registration certificate (Carte Grise)
    - Sales contract or invoice
    - Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
  • Understand VAT Implications
    For new vehicles (less than 6 months old or with fewer than 6,000 km), VAT is typically paid in the destination country. Ensure you have proof of VAT payment to avoid issues during registration.
  • Register the Vehicle in the Destination Country
    Upon arrival, register the vehicle with the local vehicle registration authority. Requirements may include a roadworthiness certificate, proof of insurance, and payment of applicable taxes or fees.
