Questions about importing to France

How much does it cost to import an electric car to France?

The landed cost (CIF) is the vehicle price plus ocean freight, cargo insurance and secure-payment fees to Le Havre, France. The table on this page shows real examples from our current stock; our calculator prices any car for France. Import duty and taxes are set by France's customs and are paid separately on arrival - we estimate about 32% of the landed value, as a guide only.

How long does shipping to France take?

Pre-export inspection and export documents take about a week, ocean transit is usually a few weeks depending on the route, and customs clearance adds a few days on arrival. We confirm the scheduled shipping date once payment is received, and you can follow every stage with your personal tracking number.

Is my payment safe?

You pay into the designated Regional Agent bank account we provide for your region. Your payment is held there by our Regional Account Agent until you receive your order and confirm the vehicle matches its agreed condition; only then do we ask the agent to release it to the seller. Every order is covered by our service guarantee.
