Are there taxes/duties on items sent to France through Amazon.fr?
Hello, If I wish to purchase and ship an item to France, Toulouse through the Amazon.fr website AMAZON EU SARL LUXEMBOURG FR. The item is a laptop priced near 250 euros. I will instruct the Amazon store to wrap it as a gift. It will be sent directly from Amazon store, does the recipient pay anything to pick-up this item? Duties, taxes, etc..? Reason for asking: I am not a France citizen so I do not know the rules! Thank you.

Answer 1 :
If the goods are shipped from within the EU (Luxembourg is a member state) then there are no duties or additional VAT due. Your citizenship does not matter. All that matters is the origin and destination of the shipment.
Answer 2 :
From what you have described there would be no cost to the recipient at point of pick up.
