Is there a customs/import fee to send a laptop computer to Paris, France?
My niece is studying aboard in Paris for a year. She brought a laptop but it seems to be failing. Her dad wants to send her a new laptop but will the French expect some kind of import fee to be paid? We have figured out it will cost over $100 just to mail it, it will be tough to have to pay a heavy custom/duty fee on top of this.

Answer 1 :
European Union duty (15 %) and import sales tax (19%) will apply. They will be calculated on the basis of the total value including shipment fees. A better idea would be buying the laptop within France, they sell computers too you know and on request even with software in English. You may also contact a large US direct sales pc company at their French subsidiary by typing .fr instead of .com
