Countries & regions
Machinery transport to and from France
France is an EU member, so there are no customs formalities. Because of the country's size, routes to Alsace and Lorraine differ greatly from those to the south or west. For handover on site, a contact who speaks French or English helps.
What matters
- Intra-EU transport
- No customs declaration; delivery note and commercial invoice are usually sufficient.
- Long distances
- Destinations near the border and in the south or west are very different to plan. The route determines the process.
- Language on site
- Scheduling and handover need a reachable contact – ideally with English or German.
- Weekends
- France also has weekend and holiday driving bans for heavy trucks.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Where exactly in France is the destination?
- Who is the contact on site, and in which language?
- Is lifting equipment available at destination?
- Is there a fixed delivery date?
What we need from you
