Consolidation Process and Cost Details for Shipping Chairs and Coffee Tables to France
As a core country in the EU, France has relatively strict but standardized furniture import policies. For small and medium – sized furniture such as chairs and coffee tables, air freight or LCL sea freight can be selected according to actual needs.
French customs require detailed material composition descriptions, product instruction manuals, and other documents for imported furniture. After sending the furniture to the consolidation company, the company will carry out moisture – proof treatment for wooden chairs and install anti – collision frames for glass coffee tables.
Air freight is fast, with a transit time of 5 – 7 days from China to major French cities, and the freight is 60 – 90 yuan per kilogram. LCL sea freight is lower, about 400 – 600 yuan per cubic meter, with a transit time of 30 – 35 days. During transportation, pay attention to the firmness of the packaging to prevent damage during transshipment.
When the furniture arrives at the French port, it may face customs inspections during customs clearance. France has high requirements for environmental protection indicators such as the formaldehyde content of furniture, so ensure that the products meet the relevant standards. After customs clearance, you can choose local express or logistics services in France to deliver the furniture to the designated address. Some companies also provide on – site installation services.
