由 lltx1822 Shipping E-cigarettes to France
France enforces EU TPD regulations through the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) and Customs. E-cigarettes are legal but subject to strict controls, including flavor restrictions and labeling requirements.
E-liquids with nicotine are capped at 20mg/ml, and tank capacity is limited to 2ml. France bans flavored e-cigarettes (except tobacco flavor) to prevent youth appeal. Labels must be in French, with warnings like “La nicotine crée une dépendance” (Nicotine is addictive) and ingredient lists.
Transporting e-cigarettes to France requires compliance with ADR regulations for road transport of lithium batteries. Air freight via Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport must include a safety data sheet in French, detailing battery specifications.
Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, EORI number, and TPD compliance certificate. France imposes a 20% VAT on e-cigarettes, plus a tobacco tax of €0.07 per ml of nicotine e-liquid. French customs may inspect shipments to check for illegal flavors, so ensure products are tobacco-flavored only.
