What to keep in mind in France
The weekend driving ban runs from Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 22:00 and on the eve of public holidays, so we plan Friday loadings with a margin – see the driving ban calendar. French motorway tolls are included in the price (more on lorry tolls). Large cities have low-emission zones (ZFE) requiring a Crit’Air sticker – we arrange vehicles that meet the conditions.
Documents
France is in the EU, so goods are not cleared through customs – an invoice and a CMR consignment note are enough. Wine and spirits need an excise accompanying document. The overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion) have a different tax regime.
