Regulations and certifications

To import or export valuables, all regulations are established by the customs services in Mainland France. However, it should be noted that Reunion is located within a different tax territory, therefore all goods brought in from mainland France, other French overseas departments or a member state of the European Union are all considered as imports.

Administrative and tax formalities

What about the administrative and tax procedures for importing or exporting works of art?
These are only permitted when accompanied by an export authorisation for:
  • - Archaeological objects older than 100 years
  • - Paintings over 50 years old and worth more than €150,000
  • - Sculptures older than 50 years and worth more than €50,000
  • - Watercolours, gouaches and pastels over 50 years old and worth more than €30,000
  • - Prints and engravings over 50 years old and worth more than €15,000
When importing a valuable item from the European Union, all VAT on said purchase is paid in the country of the taxable seller, according to their national rules and at the VAT rate applicable in the seller's country, thus avoiding double taxation.
