Question 9722 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Émeline K/Bidi draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the conclusions of the flash mission on the increase in postal parcel prices carried out within the overseas delegation. On June 24, 2025, the flash mission on the increase in postal parcel prices revealed the inconsistencies and injustices suffered by overseas users. With particular regard to the threshold for VAT exemptions and dock dues, the report indicates that: “from France to the Droms, commercial sales are exempt up to 22 euros inclusive; from the Drom to France, in the absence of a commercial transaction, this franchise applies up to 45 euros inclusive; finally, in terms of non-commercial sending from France to the Droms, this franchise amounts to 400 euros. A package sent by an overseas individual to France is therefore taxed if its value exceeds 45 euros. On the other hand, an individual living in France and wishing to send a parcel overseas will be exempt from tax if the parcel does not exceed 400 euros. The excess is 9 times higher for overseas users than for those in France. The report from the overseas delegation points the finger at European legislation. She therefore wishes to know if France has contacted European authorities to harmonize the tax exemptions applicable to postal parcels exchanged between individuals and thus put an end to the breach of equality suffered by overseas users.
