Duties and import VAT
Servers carry 0% EU customs duty, but 20% French import VAT (TVA) applies at import. We sell EXW Dalian; if you don't import from China yourself, we help you arrange a freight forwarder who delivers DAP/DDP with the VAT and French customs declaration handled.
No import experience needed: we sell EXW and help you find a freight forwarder who handles air freight, customs, duties and door delivery (DAP/DDP).

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping servers from China to France take?
All our servers ship by air, landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). The freight forwarder we help you arrange handles customs clearance and delivers to your door in 1–2 weeks.
Who handles customs and import duties?
We sell EXW Dalian, so we don't clear your customs ourselves. If you're new to importing, we help you find a freight forwarder who delivers DAP/DDP. They prepay the 20% French import VAT (TVA) and any duties and clear customs, and you receive the servers at your door.
How do warranty returns work in France?
Every server carries a 1-year warranty. If a component fails, we use advance replacement: the replacement part ships from Dalian before we receive the faulty one, and RMA processing is completed within 24 hours. Transit time for the replacement matches the air-freight window above.
