Sourcing
Discreet search and inspection of specific vehicles in France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, with independent condition assessment.
Import & administration
Vehicle import and registration in France
Bringing a car into France — from Switzerland, the United Kingdom or elsewhere — is an administrative exercise before it is an automotive one. We handle the file from sourcing to carte grise.
Customs and tax
Quitus fiscal or customs clearance depending on origin, VAT position established before purchase rather than after.
Conformity and plates
Certificate of conformity, DREAL/RTI where required, temporary WW plates and technical inspection organised in sequence.
Carte grise
The French registration file assembled, submitted and followed through to the definitive registration certificate.
Frequently asked
- How long does importing a car into France take?
- Typically three to eight weeks depending on origin, the availability of a certificate of conformity and whether an individual approval is required.
- Can you import a vehicle from Switzerland?
- Yes — Swiss imports are among the most frequent files we handle from Megève, including customs clearance and VAT.
- What is a quitus fiscal?
- A tax clearance certificate issued by the French tax authority confirming VAT is settled; it is required before registration for vehicles arriving from abroad.
- Do you handle classic cars?
- Yes, including collection registration (carte grise de collection) where the vehicle qualifies.
