Shipping to France
Orders of $49.99 or more from our website ship free to France with tracking, usually 5 to 7 business days after dispatch (orders under $49.99 ship for $9.99); French import VAT at 20%, the EU customs duty and handling fee and a customs clearance line are added at checkout as import charges and prepaid, so nothing is collected on delivery. The import charges line at checkout covers the 20% VAT on the goods, the shipping and the EU charges, the EU customs duty of EUR 3 and the EU handling fee of EUR 2, each counted once on a parcel of silver jewelry, and a customs clearance line of 3% of the goods. Orders of more than $149.99 in goods are quoted by hand, because our tracked line does not carry parcels at or above the EU's EUR 150 low-value limit: write to us before you order. Business partners who dropship or buy wholesale find the delivered cost, the French import rules and the answers to the questions French businesses ask us below.

Duties, taxes and the rules in France
The rules as published by the authorities, checked on November 7, 2026, and how they apply to a MYNSU parcel.
Import VAT on every parcel since July 1, 2021, and how IOSS works
Since July 1, 2021 every parcel imported into the EU is subject to VAT: the old exemption for goods up to EUR 22 is gone, and an import declaration is lodged for every consignment whatever its value. For distance sales of goods worth up to EUR 150, the seller can collect the VAT at the point of sale through the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS); the import itself is then exempt from import VAT, so the parcel is not charged a second time at the border. Where IOSS is not used, the carrier declares the parcel and collects the VAT from the recipient before delivery. MYNSU parcels to France, whether ordered on our website or through the Partner Portal, are declared by our carrier with the VAT collected at our checkout, through the IOSS registration of the intermediary it works with, so the VAT is not collected again on delivery.
Sources: European Commission: VAT e-commerce rules from July 1, 2021 (One Stop Shop); European Commission: customs formalities for low value consignments; French Customs (douane.gouv.fr): the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) rules.The EU customs duty of EUR 3 per item since July 1, 2026, and the EUR 2 handling fee from November 1, 2026
Council Regulation (EU) 2026/382 of February 11, 2026 removed the customs-duty exemption for parcels of up to EUR 150. Since July 1, 2026 the EU charges a temporary flat customs duty of EUR 3 per item on such parcels sold at a distance, until July 1, 2028; an item is a category of goods with the same tariff classification, so a parcel of several pieces of silver jewelry is one item and pays EUR 3 once. From November 1, 2026 the EU also charges a handling fee of EUR 2 per item on distance sales from outside the EU, whatever their value. French customs count both per category of item, and neither includes the import VAT. France's own EUR 2 tax on small parcels, introduced in March 2026, was repealed on July 1, 2026, when the EU duty took effect, so it is not charged on top. On MYNSU orders to France of up to EUR 150 in goods, the EUR 3 duty and the EUR 2 fee are paid at checkout.

The standard VAT rate in France is 20% (article 278 of the General Tax Code), and it is the rate for jewelry. Under IOSS the VAT is due on the price the customer pays for the order, the shipping included, which is why our checkout charges the 20% on the goods, the shipping, the EU duty and the EU handling fee. A parcel above EUR 150 in goods is cleared by courier instead, with import VAT at 20% on the customs value plus the duty and the shipping.
Sources: Légifrance: French General Tax Code (CGI), article 278, the standard VAT rate of 20%; European Commission: VAT e-commerce rules from July 1, 2021 (One Stop Shop).Customs duty on silver jewelry: 2.5% once a parcel is above EUR 150
Silver jewelry is tariff code 7113 11 00 in the EU customs tariff (TARIC), with a third-country duty of 2.5% of the customs value, which is the goods plus the shipping. The rate applies to consignments above EUR 150 in goods, and from July 1, 2028 to every parcel; up to EUR 150 the flat EUR 3 per item applies instead. Our tracked line does not carry parcels declared at EUR 150 or more, so an order of that size is quoted by courier with the French import VAT and the 2.5% duty shown in the quote.
Sources: European Commission TARIC consultation: goods code 7113 11 00 00, third country duty; TARIC data for 7113 11 00 (tariffnumber.com mirror): third country duty 2.5%, erga omnes.Precious-metal marks in France: a responsibility mark on imported silver, and the guarantee hallmark from 30 g
Under the French Commercial Code (articles L833-1 to L833-11, in force since July 1, 2025), an article of gold, silver or platinum carries the mark of its maker or, when it is imported from outside the EU, a responsibility mark registered with French customs and applied at the premises of the business that imports it. A silver article also carries the guarantee hallmark that attests its fineness, applied by a customs guarantee office, an approved control body or an authorised professional, unless it weighs less than 30 g; a lighter article must still be of legal fineness and carry the maker's or responsibility mark. Our stock pieces are stamped S925 and leave China without French marks, so when you import stock into France for resale, registering a responsibility mark and having the pieces marked is part of placing them on the French market.
Sources: Légifrance: French Commercial Code, articles L833-1 to L833-6 (the guarantee hallmark and its exemptions); Légifrance: French Commercial Code, articles L833-7 to L833-11 (maker's and responsibility marks); French Customs (douane.gouv.fr): having articles marked with a guarantee hallmark; silver under 30 g is exempt.Consumer right of withdrawal: 14 days under the French Consumer Code
A consumer in France who buys online may withdraw from the purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods without giving a reason (Consumer Code, article L221-18). The seller then refunds everything the consumer paid, including the standard delivery cost, within 14 days of being told (article L221-24), and the consumer bears only the direct cost of sending the goods back (article L221-23). The right does not cover goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised (article L221-28), which is where a custom piece made to your customer's design falls. How you handle a withdrawal on your own sales is a matter between you and your customer: orders at partner price are final sale, so a piece your customer returns stays in your stock to resell.

Orders placed on mynsujewelry.com: the shipping (free on orders of $49.99 or more, $9.99 under that) and the import charges, made of the 20% VAT, the EUR 3 EU duty, the EUR 2 EU handling fee and a customs clearance line of 3% of the goods, are added at checkout as one line, in steps of goods value and rounded up to the next .99; nothing is collected on delivery, and orders of more than $149.99 in goods are quoted by hand. Partner Portal orders: the same VAT, duty, handling fee and clearance are worked out on each order in the cart and prepaid, and nothing is collected on delivery.
Questions French businesses ask us
Dropshipping, wholesale, private label and custom work, answered with the terms that apply today. Every partner has the same terms; they are written down here so there is nothing to negotiate and nothing to guess.
How does a parcel travel from China to a customer in France, and how long does each stage take?
A store order is usually packed in Canton, China within 1–2 business days, a partner order within 2–3. The parcel is then handed to a tracked air service, cleared for export by Chinese customs, flown out of China towards France, cleared by French customs under the EU IOSS scheme with the 20% import VAT, the EU duty and the EU handling fee already paid, and delivered by a local carrier in France, usually 5 to 7 business days after dispatch. In total that is 6 to 9 business days from order to delivery for a store order, and 7 to 10 business days from payment to delivery for a partner order. The tracking number is emailed when the parcel ships, and the diagram and the video at the top of this page show each stop.
How are French VAT and customs duty handled on dropship orders?
Partner Portal orders ship delivered duty paid: at checkout we add French import VAT at 20% on the goods, the shipping, the duty and the EU handling fee, the EU customs duty on low-value parcels (EUR 3 per item type on a parcel of up to EUR 150 in goods), the EU handling fee of EUR 2 per item type and a customs clearance line of 3% of the goods value, all shown before you pay. Nothing is collected from your customer on delivery.
What does one piece cost delivered to a customer in France, with nothing to pay at the door?
For example, at the carrier rates of November 9, 2026 and a $29.99 piece: one $29.99 piece: $29.99 + $9.99 shipping + $15.62 VAT 20%, duty, EU handling fee and clearance = $55.60 delivered; 3 pieces in one parcel: $89.97 + $9.99 shipping + $29.41 VAT 20%, duty, EU handling fee and clearance = $129.37 delivered; 5 pieces in one parcel: $149.95 + $13.60 shipping + $43.93 VAT 20%, duty, EU handling fee and clearance = $207.48 delivered. Shipping is charged on the parcel's weight with a minimum of $9.99 per order; the VAT, duty, EU handling fee and clearance lines are worked out in the cart before you pay, and your customer pays nothing on delivery.
Can I order more than EUR 150 of goods in one parcel, for example 100 pieces of one style?
Not on the tracked line: it does not carry parcels declared at EUR 150 or more. For a larger order, such as 100 pieces of one style for your shop, tell us before you place it and we quote courier shipping together with French import VAT at 20% and the 2.5% customs duty on silver jewelry, so you know the full price in advance. For dropshipping, each customer order travels as its own parcel, so the limit applies order by order.
Do I need a French VAT number, a SIRET or an IOSS registration to order?
No. The partner form asks for your name, email, brand and country; no company registration, store or minimum is required, and the VAT on each parcel is collected at checkout and prepaid through our carrier whatever your own status. How you charge VAT on your own sales in France is a matter between you and your tax office.
What delivery time should I show my French customers?
We hand the parcel to the carrier within 2 to 3 business days of payment, and delivery to France usually takes 5 to 7 business days after dispatch, so list 3 business days of handling plus 5 to 7 business days of transit. Tracking can be quiet for a few days while the parcel is in the air; because the VAT and duty are prepaid, the parcel is not held for payment at French customs.
Are prices in euros, and how do I pay?
Partner prices are in U.S. dollars and you pay in dollars at checkout by credit or debit card, Shop Pay or PayPal; your bank converts. With the Connect Pass, the Shopify connector loads each piece into your store as a draft priced at our retail price, with your partner cost as the unit cost, both converted to euros at the day's rate; you set your own retail price.
My French customers have a 14-day right of withdrawal. What happens when one of them returns a piece?
That is between you and your customer: orders at partner price are final sale, so the returned piece stays in your stock to resell. Under the French Consumer Code (article L221-28) the right does not cover goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised, which is where a custom piece made to your customer's design falls; the wording of your own terms is yours to set. A piece that arrives faulty, wrong or damaged in transit is covered: tell us within 3 calendar days of delivery with photos or a video and we replace it or credit your account.
Do the pieces carry French hallmarks?
No. Our stock pieces are stamped S925 and leave China without French marks. Under the French Commercial Code (articles L833-1 to L833-11), a silver article imported into France from outside the EU carries a responsibility mark registered with French customs and applied at the premises of the business that imports it, and a silver article of 30 g or more also carries the French guarantee hallmark, applied by a customs guarantee office, an approved control body or an authorised professional. If you import stock for resale in France, these marks are part of placing the pieces on the French market.
Do your pieces meet the EU REACH rules on nickel, and can I describe them as nickel-free?
Stock pieces are 925 sterling silver, rhodium plated or electroplated 18K gold-tone, and the workshop that makes the tested model holds a third-party lab report under REACH Annex XVII (lead, cadmium and nickel release) for a tested model. The report covers that model, so we do not label pieces nickel-free unless a report exists for that SKU; if you want the claim for the styles you sell, we arrange independent testing at a recognized lab at your cost, and the report is issued in your name.
Will my customer see the price, our name or a tax notice on the parcel?
Inside the parcel there is no invoice, no price slip and none of our contact details, so your customer sees your brand only. On the outside, the customs declaration states the contents and the declared value, as EU customs rules require; because the VAT and duty are prepaid, the carrier delivers the parcel with nothing to pay.
Can you ship stock to me in France so I repack it in my own branding?
Yes. Choose Ship to: Me at checkout and the parcel comes to you with the same prepaid VAT, duty, EU handling fee and clearance, as long as the goods in one parcel stay under EUR 150; a larger stock order is quoted by courier with the French import VAT and the 2.5% duty included. For orders you would rather have us send straight to the customer, choose Ship to: My customer on that order instead.
Questions from French shoppers
For orders placed on mynsujewelry.com.
Can I order from mynsujewelry.com for delivery to France?
Yes. Choose France as the delivery country at checkout: the shipping and the French import charges are shown as one line before you pay, the parcel is tracked, and delivery usually takes 5 to 7 business days after dispatch. Shipping is free on orders of $49.99 or more and $9.99 under that; the import charges are added in both cases.
What are the import charges at checkout?
France charges 20% VAT on goods bought online from outside the EU, and the EU adds a customs duty of EUR 3 and a handling fee of EUR 2, each counted once on a parcel of silver jewelry; our carrier adds a customs clearance line of 3% of the goods value, and the VAT is worked out on the goods, the shipping, the duty and the fee. We collect all of it at checkout, in steps of goods value and rounded up to the next .99, so the parcel arrives with everything paid. For example, a $23.99 ring ships for $24.99 (shipping $9.99 plus the import charges on it), $48.98 delivered; on a $59.99 order there is no shipping charge and the import charges line is $20.99.
Will I pay anything on delivery?
No. The VAT, the EU duty and the EU handling fee are paid at checkout and the parcel is declared under the EU IOSS scheme, so French customs do not charge them again and the carrier does not hold the parcel for payment. If you are ever asked to pay on delivery, write to us with the notice before paying.
Is there a limit per order?
Orders of up to $149.99 in goods go through checkout. Our tracked line to the EU does not carry parcels declared at EUR 150 or USD 155 or more, and above EUR 150 the 2.5% customs duty and ordinary import clearance apply, so the checkout stays below that line; for a larger order write to us with the pieces you have in mind and we quote courier shipping with the import VAT and the duty included.
How do returns work from France?
You may return any unworn item in its original condition and packaging within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the item price, and you pay the return shipping to our receiving address in Canton, China, given with the approved return. French consumer law (Consumer Code, article L221-18) also gives you 14 days from delivery to withdraw from an online purchase without giving a reason: if you do, we refund everything you paid us, including the original standard delivery charge and the import charges paid at checkout, and you pay only the cost of sending the piece back. After those 14 days, the import charges paid at checkout are not refunded. If a piece arrives damaged, defective or different from what you ordered, tell us within 3 calendar days of delivery and we replace it or refund it in full.
I run a shop in France. Can I buy at partner prices?
Yes. Open a partner account: the form asks for your name, email, brand and country, and you log in with a code sent to your email. Partner Portal orders to France are delivered duty paid, with the 20% VAT, the EU duty and handling fee and the clearance line prepaid at checkout and nothing to pay on delivery.
Are prices in euros?
Prices are in U.S. dollars and are charged in dollars; your card issuer converts at its rate.
