Key information about what you can ship, customs rules, and packaging for France.
France follows strict EU import regulations. Food products must carry EU-compliant labeling. Cosmetics must meet EU safety standards. VIO Shipping helps you prepare compliant documentation.
France is one of the most important destinations for packages sent from Vietnam, thanks in large part to the deep historical and cultural ties between the two countries. France is home to the largest Vietnamese diaspora in Europe, with an estimated 300,000 people of Vietnamese origin living across the country — concentrated in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse. This vibrant community drives a steady flow of personal shipments, care packages, and cultural goods between Vietnam and France throughout the year.
VIO Shipping offers two main service tiers for the Vietnam-to-France corridor. Express shipping via DHL, FedEx, and Chronopost delivers your package in just 3–5 business days — ideal for urgent documents, time-sensitive gifts, or high-value goods that need to arrive quickly. For standard or heavier shipments, our Economy service through La Poste provides reliable delivery in 7–10 business days at a more affordable rate. Both services include full tracking and customs documentation support.
As an EU member state, France follows European Union customs regulations. The de minimis threshold is EUR 150 — goods valued below this amount are exempt from customs duties. However, it is important to note that French VAT at 20% applies to all imported goods regardless of their value, including shipments under EUR 150. For e-commerce sellers, the EU’s IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) system allows you to pre-collect VAT at the point of sale, which simplifies customs clearance and speeds up delivery for your French customers.
All food products shipped to France must carry EU-compliant labeling, including ingredients listed in French, nutritional information, and allergen warnings. Cosmetics must meet EU safety standards and may require registration in the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal). VIO Shipping helps you navigate these requirements with expert documentation support.
The Vietnamese community in France maintains strong culinary and cultural connections with their homeland. The most commonly shipped items include Vietnamese coffee (ca phe), pho ingredients (dried rice noodles, star anise, cinnamon, and spice packets), dried seafood (shrimp, squid, and fish), ao dai and traditional clothing, spices and seasonings (fish sauce, lemongrass, chili), and cosmetics and skincare products. These items help families in France stay connected to Vietnamese culture and cuisine, making this one of our busiest shipping corridors in Europe.
We partner with La Poste, DHL, FedEx, and Chronopost to ensure reliable delivery across all of metropolitan France, as well as French overseas territories including Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. La Poste handles most Economy deliveries with its extensive domestic network, while DHL, FedEx, and Chronopost power our Express services. Full tracking visibility is provided from pickup in Vietnam to doorstep delivery in France.
