Bonjour
je compte prochainement partir en thailande pour ramener des bougies je viens de monter ma micro entreprise et je compte profiter du vol pour en prendre le maximun autirisé par passager autrement dit 20kg. bien sur par la suite je me les ferai envoyer mais je dois d'abord prendre contact avec les fabriquants.
Connaissez vous les démarches à effectuer pour introduire ma marchandise légalement en france.
Ou puis je trouver une grille de tarif pour l'envoi de marchandise par air ou mer.
je vous remercie de votre aide.
Dorian
bonjour
si tu es en micro entreprise, tu n'as donc pas de numéro de TVA ce qui correspond à de l'achat TTC. voici le site de la poste thai http://www.thailandpost.com/newweb/index_en.asp
mon conseil est de tout envoyer par la poste, c'est plus sur (service EMS) imagine s'il l'on trouve des bougies dans ta valise!!!!!!!!!
ici tu as un calculateur http://www.thailandpost.com/search_ems_en.asp
en ce qui concerne tes bougies, tu as des revendeurs qui sont en france.

Salut, Dorian.C'est vrai que la poste Thai peut etre une solution.En fait tout dépend de la quantité de marchandise que tu comptes importer et de l'endroit ou tu résides en France.Toutes les solutions ont du bon et du moins bon.LA POSTE :tu t'évites des formalités, bon service d'emballage, pas de transitaire et ça arrive chez toi.Pour de(trés) petites quantités, pourquoi pas, perso je trouve trop cher.Au niveau tarif, compare avec les sté style DHL, TNT, FEDEX et autres.Là, aussi, pas trop de formalités, ils se déplacent pour l'emballage et l'enlèvement et ça arrive, aussi chez toi.Les tarifs des grosses"jumbo box"peuvent etre intéressants.ENVOI PAR AIR OU PAR MER:Pour ça, tu devras passer par un transitaire Thai, qui feras les formalités, l'emballage, le checking et s'occupera de l'envoi.C'est lui, aussi qui te donnera des grilles de tarifs.Fais-en plusieurs et compare-les.Moi, j'en ai un trés bien, à coté de Pratunam.Pense que tu devras payer, ausi un transitaire en France.Choisis-le avant de partir, car ton matos lui sera expédié!Parfois, si tu n'as pas beaucoup de valeur et si la Douane est bien lunée, elle peut t'autoriser à zapper le transitaire, mais n'y compte pas trop! AIR OU MER ? Par mer c'est moins cher, quoi que...Pour de gros VOLUMES c'est quasi-obligatoire. Mis si tu n'habite pas Marseille ou Le Havre, tu auras le transport le port-chez toi à assumer.+ environ 3 semaines de voyage.+ les frais de dépotage(déchargement)qui sont assez cher et parfois de gardiennage.Pour ma part, habitant à coté d'un grand aéroport, important des vètements(pas trés volumineux) et jamais + de 5OO kg, j'ai opté pour l'avion.48 h 00 d transport, je n'ai qu'à passer le chercher chez le Déclarant et somme toutes pas trop, trop cher(environ 100/150 bath/kg).par contre, pense avant ton départ à prendre RDV avec un inspecteur des Douanes(ils sont bligés de te recevoir!!)ou ton transitaire Français, afin de te faire confirmer la possibilité d'importer ton produit, le montant des taxes et surtout les papiers à fournir(ex:certificats d'origine ou phytosanitaires, licenses d'importation, factures, K bis..etc...)car les thais ne sont pas toujours au courant de tout et ça serait bète de te faire bloquer ton matos chez nous.LA KON LAE CHOK DEE KHAP !!!

est ce que les pierres precieuses avec certificats d'authanticité vallent le coup?
et une fois que j'ai recu les objets, cmt je dois faire pour les vendre sur un marché???
merci d'avance...

Sache, que tout objet est sujet à un règlement douanier particulier.En fonction de son type, de sa forme, de sa composition, et parfois, meme, de sa taille et de son poids !!! Tu n'as que 2 solutions ;-soit prendre rdv avec l'inspection es douanes la plus proche de chez toi, et poser toutes tes questions avec précision.-soit contacter un transitaire, qui lui, ussi, t donnera toutes les réponses. Pense, cependant à te faire une liste précise et détaillée de tous les types d'objet que tu veux ramener. Tu peux'(dés lors qu'ils ne sont pas soumisà "licence d'importaton") les faire rentrer à ton nom perso, sinon, tu devras avoir déclarée ta sté au registre du commerce et l'avoir immatriculée.Si tu veux faire les marchés, ton statut sera celui de"commerçant non sédentaire".De toutes manières, lorsque tu voudras trouver une place pour ton stand sur le marché, le"placeur"te demandera ton extrait K ou K bis.Donc, pour vendre toi-meme tu devras asser par la constitution d'une structure ( enreprise ndividuelle, micro-société, EURL ou SARL, à toi de voir. L'import est une maladie qui touche beaucoup de gens, lors des premiers séjours.Ils s'embarquent dans l'aventure sans aucune connaisance des lois et règlements."Avoir des contacts là-bas" est à la portée de tous, concrétiser le business est une autre affaire.Tu sais, les Thais n'ont qu'un soucis : c'est te fourguer leur matos, aprés, ils s'en foutent.J'ai vu des gens importer des marques (pas des faux ) achetées à BKK moins cher que chez nous.Mauvais plan ! marchandises bloquées à la douane, car la marque possédat, déjà, un agent exclusif en France.Donc, renseignes-toi nien.INSPECTION DES DOUANES OU TRANSITAIRE. 😠😎

Trés mauvais plan !!! Je pense, que tout comme moi, tu n'es pas gemmologue ni meme bijoutière. Donc, DANGER ! arnaque à l'horizon ! La Thailande est, je crois, le plus grand importateur de fausses pierres ( industrielles, en général ) Et, là, aussi, tu vas t'embarquer dans l'enfer des administrations et paperasses diverses.Pour, en plus, certainement e faire escroquer.

Ah, et le tarf du transitaire, je ne l'ai pas exactement en tête, mais pour mes envois habituels et pour mes produits cela doit tourner autour d'une centaine d'euros.
A vérifier, surtout abec le change actuel très bas.

Hi there,
we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure...
I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not?
Thanks for any insights...
Hi everyone,
I bought a new apartment in Pattaya that will be finished at the end of 2013, and I’d like to buy more later...
I think it’s a good investment idea, but I’d love to hear from those of you with experience—what do you think? I’d also like to know how to handle rentals... Should I go through agencies, or are they usually rented out directly by the building management companies?
Thanks in advance for your replies! 🙂
Hi everyone,
I have to leave for Perth, Australia in a week, for 7 days, and I couldn’t get my international driver’s permit due to processing and delivery delays.
The information I’ve found about whether an international permit is required is contradictory. Some sources say you need one, others say you don’t.
Could anyone let me know if an international driver’s permit is necessary to rent a car in Australia (Perth), or if a French license is enough for a 7-day rental?
Thanks in advance for your advice

hi everyone,
I need to apply for a new eTA for Canada.

Hi there,
I know there are similar topics here and elsewhere, but they’re a few years old, and I need an up-to-date answer to make sure I don’t throw over 1000 € out the window. Thanks for your patience.
I’m planning a trip from France to Alberta/British Columbia, and I’m unsure about which bank card to use for the security deposit with the rental company (I’m thinking of going with AVIS).
I contacted Avis Canada, and they told me a credit card is absolutely required. I asked my bank for a credit card (a *real* credit card), but they only offered me a deferred debit card.
My question: For a rental with Avis Canada, is a Gold International Mastercard deferred debit card usable for the security deposit needed to finalize the rental? Is the "CREDIT" label enough? (Some cards say "CREDIT" and others say "CARTE DE CREDIT"—seems minor, but it’s actually a big deal in how the card works.)
I’ve seen conflicting info everywhere I look... My bank says it’s *usually* okay (the deferred debit card), while Avis Canada insists it *must* be a credit card, not debit—even when I mention the deferred debit card.
I know the whole credit card concept is already confusing, and on top of that, some sites say a deferred debit card counts as a credit card, while others say it doesn’t.
Thanks to anyone who can share a recent experience! Have a great day

Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi everyone,
I’ll explain my situation.
Unfortunately, I lost my passport, and I only realized it two weeks before my departure for a humanitarian mission in Libya. I’m a nurse, and this mission really means a lot to me.
First, I applied for an emergency passport, but it was denied by the Val-d'Oise prefecture on the grounds that a planned humanitarian mission wasn’t considered an urgent reason.
So, I submitted a biometric passport application on July 20th. Since then, the tracking has been stuck, and the town hall can’t (or won’t) give me any clear information. Every time I call, I get a different story. The last update I received was that the passport had been produced since July 23rd with a status of "about to be shipped," but nothing since then.
I’ve managed to push my departure back to next Tuesday at the latest, but I’m starting to really panic.
Have any of you submitted an application around July 20th, especially in Val-d'Oise (95)? How long did you wait between the passport being produced and it being available at the town hall? Is it normal for this step to take this long?
This mission means so much to me. I had everything organized, and I’m also supposed to attend a friend’s wedding right after near the border.
Thanks so much to those who take the time to respond or share their experience. 😔
Hi,
Can anyone tell me exactly if a passport "valid for the duration of the stay" is enough, or does it need to be valid for 6 months after the trip? I checked the embassy’s website, but that info is missing.

Hi everyone,
I’m a bit embarrassed because I need to travel to Quebec from February 27th to March 13th. I’m a regular visitor to Canada—this will be my 10th trip since 1997, plus a year as a permanent resident (2000–2001) and a cross-country run from Vancouver to Halifax in 2011. So, I’m definitely not a terrorist! But since our last trip in July 2015, they’ve introduced this eTA thing. Seems more like a way to make money than to actually secure Canada, if you ask me, but anyway, that’s not the point. I applied for an eTA for myself, my wife, and our two kids. They all got approved within hours, but not me! I was asked to create a GC key and then an IRCC account, which I did. Normally, you get news within 72 hours, but since Monday, January 15th, nothing! In the "message" section of the account, it says "explanation letter (required)" with a deadline of January 25th, but I can’t find any explanation anywhere—despite searching the Canadian government website and Google. No links, nothing! I’ve emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m thinking of calling the Canadian embassy in Paris tomorrow. Even though I’m not stressing yet, it’d be a bummer if everyone else got to go without me! If anyone’s had this issue before or knows what this explanation letter is about, I’d love to hear more.

hi there
I’m heading to Seoul in September, and to do that I need to get a travel authorization that we apply for through K-ETA....... turns out I can (barely, I admit) fill out the form up to the address of our "stay location," but every address I’ve entered has been rejected by the system. I’ve tried my hotel, the Lotte Hotel (which is well-known in Seoul), the airport—basically, I’ve entered at least 20 addresses, all rejected....
So, to anyone who’s successfully gotten the authorization, could you tell me which address you used to get that "elusive" approval?...
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!

Hi there,
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April. My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date. Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry. However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Will Ryanair let me board in Beauvais in 3 weeks?
Thanks for your advice—this is a bit urgent 😕😕😕😕

Hello,
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht). This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea? Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast! Cheers, Bruno.

Hi there,
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.

Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.

Hi there,
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident. I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia. For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France? Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
Best regards,
Gilles

I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi,
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted. Is this real or just a hoax? Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received. Thanks everyone.

Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding? Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival? Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient? Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊

Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi everyone,
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
