Student Baggage to France — Free Pickup & Aggregator Rates

France’s Douanes — the DGDDI — clears student baggage under Transfer of Residence relief filed through the DAU, the single administrative document used across the EU. Students moving to Sorbonne, Sciences Po, or HEC for a programme exceeding twelve months import personal effects duty-free, with no ownership-age requirement as strict as Germany’s. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk to Paris or Lyon through SLP Express, and the detail that decides clearance is whether the DAU carries the right relief code — SLP Express files it under the transfer-of-residence regime so the Douanes officer at Roissy sees the exemption on the first line. New goods above EUR 430 per item attract VAT at 20 percent. We separate used from new on your inventory before pickup. DHL lands French addresses in three to five working days.

A 30 kg trunk on a Hyderabad-to-Paris flight triggers ₹20,000 in excess charges; SLP Express sends the same weight via DHL to Sorbonne’s Cité Universitaire or Sciences Po’s student housing for under ₹14,000, delivered to the residence address. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk ahead of the student’s flight, and the Douanes officer at Roissy clears it faster when the DAU and the inventory travel together. Our packing is complimentary and triple-layered: vacuum-sealed clothing, foam-protected laptops, double-boxed kitchen items separated from textiles. French customs is methodical but efficient when the paperwork is complete. DHL reaches French addresses in three to five working days. WhatsApp tracking from pickup to delivery, scan by scan. Book seven working days before the semester to hold capacity on the Paris lane.
