Help you seize the opportunity in the European summer market, worry free and effortless!

As summer temperatures in Europe continue to rise year by year, electric fans are becoming a popular category for cross-border e-commerce. As a core consumer market in Europe, France has dense air routes to Le Havre and Port of Forth, making it an ideal gateway for China's export of electric fans. Electric fans belong to ordinary mechanical and electrical products. Although there are no restrictions on the transportation of dangerous goods, they are subject to EU access requirements such as CE certification and EORI number declaration, and the export process still requires professional control. Improper packaging may result in damage during transportation, and incomplete documents may cause delays in customs inspection.

Andaxun International Logistics is deeply rooted in the Guangzhou Shenzhen Dongguan freight distribution center, with over ten years of experience in general cargo shipping. We provide one-stop services including full container load/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door service to help you seize the opportunity in the European summer market!

*The direct route from Le Havre Port has a stable delivery time, with fast ships taking 25-30 days to reach. The LCL delivery time is 28-35 days, and the four cut and four open shipping schedule is flexible. It is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak season (June September) to avoid tight cabin space. *

Port D&D Policy in 2026: Some shipping companies in French ports will shorten the free demurrage period from 7 days to 5 days. It is necessary to confirm the customs clearance time in advance to avoid additional costs.

Key points of tariffs and value-added tax: France implements EU unified tariffs, and the HS code for electric fans is usually classified as 8414.51 (for table fans, floor fans, etc. with output power ≤ 125 watts). The import tariff rate is usually between 0% and 17%, depending on the product type and origin. The standard value-added tax rate in France is 20%, calculated based on the landed price. Imported goods with a FOB value not exceeding 150 euros are exempt from customs duties, but value-added tax still needs to be paid. Andaxun provides double clearance and tax inclusive services, fully paying customs duties and 20% value-added tax on behalf of customers, without the need to handle French tax declarations on their own.

2、 Shenzhen to France electric fan sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: professional guidance, worry free throughout the process

As a common electromechanical product, the core document list for French customs clearance for electric fans is as follows:

1. Essential documents for booking stage:

|Booking Authorization Letter | Includes product name, HS code, weight, volume, and sender/receiver information|

|MSDS | Charged products need to be provided (even without batteries, it is recommended to keep them)|

|Product photos | Clear packaging and product appearance photos|

2. Export customs declaration documents:

-Commercial invoice and packing list: Invoices must indicate the amount in euros, recipient information must be accurate to the house number, and trade terms (such as FOB/CIF) must be indicated.

-Foreign trade contract

-Proxy Customs Declaration Authorization Letter

-HS code: Electric fans are generally classified under HS 8414.51 (table fans, floor fans, wall fans, ventilation fans, etc. with output power ≤ 125 watts). If the fan has motor power exceeding the standard or has special functions (such as air purification), and the HS code is different, it needs to be checked in advance.

3. Double clearance process for French destination ports: Our local cooperative customs clearance agency will handle the entire process on our behalf

|Importer filing | Ensure importer holds French EORI number (mandatory requirement by French customs) | 2-3 weeks in advance|

|Pre review of documents | Check invoices, packing lists, CE certification, certificates of origin, etc. | 1-2 days|

CE certification key points (important!): The EU has strict standards for imported electronic and electrical products, and electric fans exported to France must pass CE certification, affix the CE mark, and provide corresponding test reports. The certification requirements include: Low Voltage Directive (LVD, 2014/35/EU, applicable to 50-1000V AC equipment) and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC, 2014/30/EU, applicable to equipment containing electronic components). The instruction manual and certification label must be in French. Before export, it is necessary to confirm that the product has passed relevant tests and provide a Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

3、 Notes on Shipping Electric Fans from Shenzhen to France: Avoiding Four Core Risks

1. CE certification and compliance red line

-Electric fans must hold complete CE certification documents, including low voltage directive and electromagnetic compatibility directive test reports

-The CE mark on the product, instruction manual, and packaging must be clear and distinguishable

-The EU has strict environmental requirements for imported electronic and electrical appliances, which must comply with the RoHS directive (restricting the use of hazardous substances)

-Instructions and warning labels must be translated into French, which is a mandatory requirement of French customs

2. EORI number and VAT declaration

-Importers must hold a French EORI number, without which goods will not be able to complete customs clearance

-If the importer does not have a local VAT number, our company can assist in arranging for a local French importer to clear on their behalf, or act as an agent to handle tax registration

-Under the double clearance and tax package model, we handle the full payment of customs duties and 20% value-added tax on behalf of our clients, eliminating the need for them to handle tax declarations on their own

3. Peak season and climate response

-French summer (June September) is the peak season for electric fan shipments. It is recommended to stock up 45 days in advance and book cabin space as early as possible

-During sea transportation, fluctuations in container humidity may affect the performance of electronic products. It is recommended to place desiccants inside the outer box and take moisture-proof measures

4. Bottom line of file consistency

-The commercial invoice must be completely consistent with the bill of lading and physical goods, and the product name, quantity, and HS code must be accurately matched

-Brand products must provide a brand authorization letter and a non infringement statement to avoid intellectual property disputes

4、 Shipping packaging requirements for electric fans from Shenzhen to France: triple protection to ensure safety

Electric fans are mechanical and electrical products, and bumps and humidity changes during sea transportation may cause damage to the products. The correct packaging is the key to ensuring the goods arrive intact.

First layer: Inner packaging (shock-absorbing cushioning)

-Each fan must be fully wrapped with bubble wrap or pearl cotton to ensure that the body and blades are completely covered

-Vulnerable parts such as fan blades shall be wrapped with sponge or foam

-Remote control, power cord and other accessories should be fixed separately from the host to avoid loosening and collision during transportation

Second layer: Fill and fix

-Fill the gap between the product and the outer package with foam board or air pillow to fix the fan in the box and reduce shaking

-When stacking multiple layers, add partitions or sliding paper between layers to prevent compression

-Reserve appropriate buffer space in the box to avoid damage caused by violent handling

Third layer: outer box and identification

-Choose corrugated cardboard boxes with sufficient compressive strength, with preference given to B-type or C-type corrugated boxes

-The sealing method adopts the "H" - shaped sealing method, with corner protectors added to reinforce the edges, and high viscosity sealing tape is used as the adhesive tape

-Clear operation labels such as "fragile", "upward", and "sun resistant" should be posted on the outer box

-The outer box shall indicate the consignee information, box number, number of pieces, and gross and net weight, and the marking shall comply with international trade norms

Moisture proof treatment: Due to significant humidity fluctuations during sea transportation, it is recommended to place desiccants on the inside of the outer box and reinforce it with stretch film to prevent moisture from entering. If the value of the goods is high, vacuum moisture-proof bags can be used for sealed packaging.
