Duty-free import

After years abroad, you are back on the Franco-Monegasque territory. As part of this transfer, you arrive with all your belongings. Request the services of MARI TRANSPORTS MONACO to carry out the customs clearance operation. We provide end-to-end support thanks to our expertise. 

Generally, tax and customs exemptions are applicable to the goods that you transport according to their categories. Through our approach, we want you to benefit from these advantages. 

In this sense, you must provide us with various documents: 

• A detailed, dated and signed inventory in two copies, estimating the goods to be transferred (furniture, personal effects, vehicles); 
• All documents Proving your former residence in a third country; 
• A certificate of residency change authorizing customs transits; 
• A status form or a tax receipt. 

In case you have valuables which require the completion of special formalities, you will have to fill in the Cerfa form n°10070 on the portal www.douanes.gouv.fr and sign it before sending it back to us. 

Once all these documents in hand, we will be able to proceed to the request of the tax (VAT) and customs free admission of your imported goods. 

In return, the customs authorities will give you: 

• A stamped copy of the inventory, 
• An 846 A certificate for the registration of your vehicle in normal series, 
• A free movement card established on your request if necessary. 

   

No completion of customs formalities is necessary if you come from a European Union country. 

Quantitative tax exemptions are applicable for all goods purchased or offered in a fiscally third territory. On the other hand, if the goods come from a territory outside the Community customs territory, in-value exemptions are applied.  

On the other hand, if you come from a non-EU country, you could be exempt from duty when importing your personal belongings. However, the exemption is subject to certain conditions: 

• You have lived abroad for at least 12 months; 
• You have owned and used your personal belongings for at least 6 months prior to their transfer; 
• You must transfer your assets to France within 12 months of the date of the transfer of your residence; 
• You cannot divest yourself (sale, rental, loan, pledge...) of the goods admitted free after a waiting period of 12 months from the date of their entry into France. 

Please note: various personal goods are subject to the duty-free scheme provided that they are subject to all customs and/or tax charges in their country of origin or consignment. These include: saddle animals, motorcycles, motor vehicles with trailers, camping caravans, pleasure crafts and private aircraft.
