Tax Free deliveries in France*

If your yacht and charter fulfils each of the
following conditions, you may be eligible for
a tax free delivery which VSF is able to supply.

    The yacht is commercially registered
  • Although essential, this does not suffice in its own right.
    The below must also apply:
  • The purchase cannot be for a static charter
  • The amount purchased is in keeping with the duration of the charter and its number of guests
    You will need to provide, in advance, copies of the following:
  • Yacht registration papers
  • The specific Charter Agreement
  • Passenger and crew list

The Customs Agents fees payable are at least €199. Therefore tax free delivery is not viable where this amount exceeds the tax due – orders of around €1015 alcohol or €3618 soft drinks.

Please note that due to Customs constraints we need to provide at least 48 hours notice to effect a tax free delivery.

Deliveries can only be made during Customs hours and following receipt of their approval. In practice this means deliveries can only be made 14.00 – 17.00, Monday – Friday.

No return of goods can be accepted once the delivery has cleared customs.

Customs reserve the right to board the vessel at the time of delivery and subsequently. There are potentially serious consequences for false declarations.
