How to send a parcel from Moldova to France

Moldova → France is a longer corridor (≈ 2,400 km) so trips are less frequent than Italy or Germany — typically 2–4 departures per week depending on the season. Most drivers route via Romania, Hungary, Austria and southern Germany before reaching France.

Typical timing

• Total transit: 3–5 days from Chișinău to French destination cities.
• Most popular destinations: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Lille, Nice.

Typical pricing

Slightly higher than Italy or Germany due to the longer distance:

• €3.00–€5.00 / kg for general parcels.
• €30–€80 flat fee for a typical small/medium box.

Customs

Same rules as Moldova → Germany (France is in the EU):

• Gifts up to €45 between private individuals: duty- and VAT-free.
• Above €45: French VAT (20%) may apply.
• Above €150: customs duty may apply on top.
• Always include an itemised list of contents.

Tips for the France route

• French addresses can be tricky — include the building code (code d'accès) if needed.
• For Paris deliveries, meeting points are often faster than door-to-door because of traffic.
• If you're sending to a smaller town, expect a meeting-point handover at the nearest highway exit rather than door-to-door.
