Send Parcels to France | Safe & Cheap Couriers with ParcelBroker

Send Parcels to France from only £7.29

France is one of the most popular shipping destinations from the UK, with Brits sending a massive number of parcels across the Channel every year. In fact, statistics from 2025 show that the total trade in goods and services (exports plus imports) between the UK and France was £104.2 billion, with imports amounting to £58 billion.

With plenty of great food (fish and shellfish exports come to £987.4 million) and its proximity to the UK (just 20 miles across the sea), it’s no wonder shipping from the UK to France is so common.

Between 200,000 and 400,000 British nationals have migrated to the country, so sending a parcel to France is becoming increasingly common. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing business with a French importer or completing the purchase of a holiday home in Normandy, ParcelBroker will make sure that your packages, pallets and documents get where they need to be on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when sending parcels from the UK to France?

Yes, to send a parcel to France from the UK, you will need to handle relevant customs procedures.

You’ll need to complete a customs declaration form and may be required to pay import duties and VAT.

French addresses are written in the same way as in the UK. Here’s an example:

Make sure you write clearly (we recommend using block capitals), and shipping to France should go smoothly.
