Importing into France: The Complexities

Growth in France’s technology sector has been challenging. Many attribute it to the culture’s resistance to innovation, but the primary cause is probably the tax structure.

The high taxation and regulations companies have to deal with as they expand don’t foster thriving startups. However, President Emmanuel Macron announced a significant investment in the tech sector to change that. Macron wants to create more billion-euro startups and he’s calling on foreign tech investors to invest in France. France’s stable economy and limited political unrest make it a promising place to invest. As a result of this change, France is expected to be a tech giant, catching up to and maybe even surpassing much of the world in this crucial area. To maintain and improve France’s global competitiveness, the move is a must.

We need to adhere to environmental regulations like WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).

Medical industry:

Importers in the medical industry have to comply with regulations related to product safety and certification of medical devices, such as ISO 13485, which specifies quality management systems. In addition to that, the French Agency for the Safety of Health Products (ANSM) regulates medical device marketing and importation, making it essential to follow their rules.

Automotive industry:

In order to import IT and Telecom equipment to France for the automotive industry, you have to comply with product safety regulations, environmental regulations, and automotive industry standards. The ISO/TS 16949 quality management standard is often needed in the automotive industry. Additionally, automotive equipment must comply with regulations like REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals).

Aviation industry:

Aside from product safety, aviation industry standards, and certifications from the French Civil Aviation Authority, importers have to comply with other regulations in the aviation industry. IMPORTING IT and Telecom equipment requires certifications like EN 9100, which is for quality management systems in the aviation industry. Aircraft Design Organization (Part 21J) and Aircraft Certification Regulations (Part 21) are also important.
