For the importation of a non-commercial vehicle from outside of the EU (applicable to UK nationals from 1st Jan 2021) then you will need to obtain customs clearance.
Normally, no customs duties or VAT will be payable, provided you have owned the vehicle for at least 6 months, that all duties and taxes have already been paid and that you are importing the vehicle within twelve months of becoming a resident in France.

Import Tax & VAT
Import Customs : Cars 5-10%

You will need to complete two copies of Déclaration d’entrée en France en franchise de biens personnels en provenance de pays tiers à l’Union Européenne , which you should send to your local customs office by recorded delivery.

Here are the required documents to clear and register the vehicle in France

• Certificate of Road Worthiness – Provided by Easy Cars Japan
• Proof of Identity
  You will need to produce:
  your passport;
  a utility bill giving proof of your address.
• Insurance Certificate
• Fiscal Rating
  • In order to obtain registration, you need to calculate the ‘fiscal rating’ of the vehicle as this needs to be entered on the application. This information is not on a foreign registration card, although it is possible it might be included on the certificate of conformity.
    The fiscal rating of the vehicle is derived from the fiscal engine capacity of the vehicle, called the ‘puissance fiscal’ (PF), when it is then expressed as the administrative chevaux fiscaux/cheval fiscal. It is calculated using the following formula:
    PF = (CO₂/45) + (P/40)^1.6.
    Where:
    PF = Puissance Fiscale
    CO₂ = Carbon Emission (gr/km)
    P = Horsepower (1 hp = 0,736 kW)
• Registration Process
  • Once you have all these documents, as well as your existing registration certificate, then you should complete a request for a vehicle registration document – a Demande de certificat d’immatriculation, also known by its former name of carte grise.
    This process can only be undertaken online at Agence nationale des titres sécurisés via prior registration with France Connect.
