Reading time: < 1 minute

As a reminder, the reverse charge mechanism applicable to imports made in France will be generalised, automatic and compulsory from 1 January 2022.

As a result, any foreign company wishing to carry out customs import operations on French territory must be identified for VAT purposes in France.
