Why SLP Express for the France lane
What you're really buying on the France lane is a border handled properly. SLP Express has served Hyderabad since 2008 as an independent multi-carrier service, comparing suitable DHL, FedEx, UPS & more options by route, contents and weight. And because French and EU customs rewards a correctly prepared declaration, our team writes the invoice to match the goods so the parcel clears rather than sitting. Every box is weighed with you present, photographed from both sides, and sealed with our SLP mark. This lane has run since 2008, with a Hyderabad team reachable on WhatsApp around the clock.
Sending a parcel from Hyderabad to France
Take the guesswork out of a France parcel by starting with one message on WhatsApp: what's inside, a rough weight, and the Hyderabad locality to collect from. We map your items against current EU and French customs rules, return a current DHL or FedEx rate, and confirm a pickup window once your exact address is reviewed. There is no depot visit and no paper form anywhere in the process.
On collection day the parcel is measured and packed to the 3-layer standard with you watching, the commercial invoice and customs declaration are drawn up by our team, and a tracking number is yours by evening. From there DHL Express or FedEx International Priority carries it into France, door-to-door, with a WhatsApp update at every stage until handover.

France customs & duty reality
France's border is run by Douane under EU-wide rules. Since 1 July 2026 the €150 duty-free relief has been abolished — low-value parcels now attract a flat €3 customs duty per item, while import VAT is still collected at delivery.
📋 We prepare
- Commercial invoice with an honest, itemised value — we prepare this
- Recipient's full French address, including postcode, and a working phone number
- Sender ID (passport or Aadhaar) for export KYC
- For medicines: prescription or doctor's letter on letterhead
⚖️ Limits to know
- Low-value parcels now carry a flat €3 customs duty per item following the end of the €150 relief on 1 July 2026
- Import VAT is collected on most goods at delivery, apart from any customs duty
- France's own small-parcel tax was suspended in July 2026 in favour of the EU-wide flat duty
- Clothing and consumer goods clear comfortably with honest, accurate values
🚫 Common hold reasons
- Item descriptions left vague on the invoice
- Declared value that doesn't match the actual contents
- Undeclared high-value electronics
- Banned items and undeclared commercial goods
💰 Duty reality
Destination customs duty for a parcel to France depends on the contents, declared value, tariff classification, and the decision of Douane (French Customs). We prepare an accurate itemised invoice and explain known requirements before dispatch, but we do not promise a duty amount, clearance outcome, or release date. If the carrier or authority requests more information, we help you respond with the shipment records available to us.
How we pack for France — done in front of you
Fragile objects — ceramics, glassware, framed items — don't go in a plain carton; they travel in a wooden crate with bubble-wrap that's genuinely protective. Food and liquids are double-packed as our default so nothing leaks mid-flight. Every parcel is closed with the branded SLP seal, marking it as ours from pickup to Paris and beyond. We bring the materials; you hand over the goods.
What the process actually looks like
Sending to France for the first time?
The first-time flow to France is uncomplicated. Send us your item list and the Hyderabad area to collect from; we confirm what's permitted under EU rules, confirm the applicable rate, and collect free, weighing and packing before your eyes with materials we bring. That evening a tracking number is in your hands, and the parcel moves door-to-door while our team remains on WhatsApp should Douane raise anything.
📦 Tracking
A DHL or FedEx tracking number reaches you the same evening we collect, and each true milestone then draws a WhatsApp update: collected in Hyderabad, departed India, in transit, arrived in France, through Douane customs, out for delivery, and the final confirmed handover.
🚪 Recipient not home?
If the recipient is out during a French delivery, DHL or FedEx will generally attempt a redelivery or leave the parcel at a nearby point. We follow the tracking and message you to arrange it, so the parcel never ends up back in India.
