7. Three Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is a French VAT number mandatory for DDP? What if I don’t have one?
A: Yes, a VAT number is required for formal customs clearance. If you don’t have one, we can assist with registration or provide a compliant, duty-inclusive solution through our tax channels.

Q2: If the goods are inspected by French customs, who covers the additional fees?
A: We have a professional pre-clearance system that significantly reduces inspection rates. If an inspection is caused by our operational error, we cover the fees. If it’s due to the goods themselves, we will assist in handling the situation, with fees covered by the shipper, but we will provide risk warnings in advance.

Q3: How is the transit time guaranteed? How long will it take to arrive?
A: Leveraging our own resources and partnerships with core carriers, the typical sea freight transit time is around 30-35 days after the vessel’s departure. We provide end-to-end cargo tracking so you can monitor the shipment’s status at any time.

8. Successful Case Study

We have extensive experience with DDP operations, having successfully managed numerous DDP shipments to the USA. For example, we handled a DDP USA service for a large electronics client. Faced with complex tariff codes and strict FDA regulations, we planned ahead, secured space, and managed customs clearance precisely. The goods arrived at the client’s warehouse 3 days ahead of schedule with no hidden fees. This proven operational model has now been perfectly replicated for our France DDP line, offering you the same level of security and assurance.
