I have a canadian friend who wants to send me a couple of books she has finished reading but her local post office have told her that France will not allow importation of any secondhand booksfrom Canada. Can any one confirm whether this is true please,...... Thank you
Baloney! I live in France and have mooched from all over the world, including Canada, for several years. Many BM parcels I receive have a customs/security scan label on them, so sometimes parcels are delayed, but do get here.
Thanks for the info Jacquie..... you've confirmed what I thought. My friend's post office insist it is true though and have even shown it to her in black and white.... totally bizarre..... I will speak to her again.
You need to send the books as "gifts" with the value of about a dollar a book. I have never had a problem mailing books to France or any other country from Canada.
It's also a good idea to confirm with the local post office as regulations can vary, and the postal staff may have the most recent information on shipping restrictions. Cincinnati demolition company
While some restrictions might exist, France generally allows used books from Canada. Private courier services like DHL or FedEx might have more experience with customs regulations and can advise her on the best way to ship the books. Gulf Coast Panana Jack Beach Gear
