We have many years’ experience in assisting our clients resident in CIS countries in disputes with the French customs authorities over issues relating to the violation of French and European customs legislation.   We provide legal assistance to our clients, both natural and legal persons, at all stages of the proceedings, both before the customs authorities and before the criminal courts to which cases of customs violations are often referred.
Our expertise includes
  • Assistance in cases of non-compliance with cash and valuables declaration obligations, such as the cross border transport of cash in amounts of €10,000 or more that has not been declared to French customs.
  • Assistance in the event of infringement of the rules governing the temporary admission of foreign pleasure craft to French/European territory for 18 months.
  • Assistance in the event of a breach in France of the rules governing the refund of value-added tax (détaxe) established for non-resident travelers under the European Union system.
