To: Jeffreyfieevacation©gmail.com) Fran: Richard Kahn Sent Thur 7/26/2012 3:38:44 PM Subject Re: Normal Clearance Procedure when shipping a car from USA to France: a) Custom Duty 10% on value of car b) VAT 19.6% on value of car Both of these taxes are collected at port of entry by the French Customs and Excise Service After clearing customs you will be handed a copy of the import declaration, a receipt, as wells as a customs entry certificate Once the vehicle has been cleared through Customs you are under strict obligation to apply for registration under a French domestic license plate. This must be completed within 4 months of importing the vehicle into France. The vehicle must conform to French safety and environment standards checked by the local MIRE. Almost all vehicles purchased outside France are not manufactured to comply with French Standards and will require modifications. We will have to check with Car Manufacturer before shipping to understand nonconforming items. Nonconforming vehicles must be exported after the expiration of the 4 month time limit as they cannot be driven in France with foreign license plates. There arc two EXCEPTIONS to the above rules for paying taxes: 1) if you move house to France on a permanent basis (as distinct from a seasonal resident) and you had been living outside the EU for the last 12 months prior to your arrival in (or return to) France. If the following conditions below are met then you may import your vehicle free of duty and VAT: a) not a commercial vehicle b) you have been the actual owner of vehicle for at least 6 months prior to exporting to France c) you have paid all applicable taxes in US when purchasing vehicle 2) if you are a US resident and are visiting France as a tourist you may temporarily import a vehicle duty and tax free if the following conditions are met: a) a tourist is anyone who does not stay in France more than 185 days in one calendar year and who does not enter France with a view to immigrate or find a paid job b) tourists may drive with their own US license plates and with their own drivers license provided they comply with 18 year old driving age and have valid insurance c) vehicles do not have to meet the French safety and environment standards d) vehicle must be for your personal use and should in no way be sold, rented or otherwise disposed of in France e) temporary admission of vehicle is granted for a period of 6 months starting from your arrival in France f) all vehicles must be exported when the 6 month time limit has expired EFTA_R1_00283000 EFTA01874698  PLEASE NOTE EFFECTIVE JUNE 5TH MY CONTACT INFO WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10022 tel fax cell On Jul 25, 2012, at 10:42 AM, Jeffrey wrote: I need to know details about registering in France etc Sorry for all the typos .Sent from my iPhone On Jul 25, 2012, at 10:09 AM, Richard Kahn <richardkahn12®gmail.com> wrote: i have contacted two companies and in order to get pricing info i will need to know: a) car make, model and year b) one company can ship from jacksonville or newark and the other miami only c) both companies said they do weekly shipments and it should arrive approximately 2 weeks later in france please advise PLEASE NOTE EFFECTIVE JUNE 5TH MY CONTACT INFO WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue. 4th Floor, New York, New York 10022 tel fax cell On Jul 24, 2012, at 9:04 AM, Jeffrey Epstein wrote: find out for me about shipping a car to paris for a year. from the states EFTA_R1_00283001 EFTA01874699 The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
