Indicative FCL rates to Le Havre in September 2026: USD 2,600\u20133,200 for a 20 ft, USD 4,100\u20135,000 for a 40 ft, before surcharges.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Import duty on most furniture into the EU is 0% (HS 9401 seats and 9403 wooden, metal and plastic furniture); rattan and cane furniture (9403 89) is 5.6% and mattresses and cushions (9404) 3.7%. French import VAT is 20% on the goods plus freight and duty \u2014 recoverable if you are VAT-registered.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A worked example: 250 stackable sun loungers plus furniture for 20 one-bedroom apartments is two to three 40 ft high-cubes, not LCL \u2014 and the container plan, not the ocean rate, decides whether it arrives assembled or in pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>There is no EU anti-dumping duty on Chinese household or hospitality furniture as of September 2026; the only open proceeding in chapter 94 concerns steel shelving (TARIC 9403 20 80 20), which does not touch seating or home furniture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Furniture bought in Foshan reaches France in five to seven weeks by sea, and the cheapest way to send it depends almost entirely on volume.<\/strong> This guide works the numbers for a typical French order \u2014 a beach club&#8217;s 250 sun loungers, a block of serviced apartments, or a single house \u2014 from the consolidation warehouse in Foshan to the door in Nice, Lyon or Paris: LCL against FCL, the ports, the September 2026 rate picture, EU duty by HS code, French VAT, and the delivery leg that most freight quotes stop short of.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"sf-source-note\">Rates and transit times are indicative for September 2026 and move monthly; duty rates are from the EU TARIC as mirrored on 22 September 2026 and must be confirmed against the final HS classification of each piece.

LCL is billed per cubic metre \u2014 around USD 30\/m\u00b3 base ocean freight from South China to Le Havre in September 2026, but origin and destination CFS charges, documentation and customs typically add 25\u201340% \u2014 while FCL is billed per box regardless of how full it is.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sf-quote\"><table><thead><tr><th>Volume<\/th><th>Ship as<\/th><th>What it costs (Sept 2026, indicative)<\/th><th>Handling<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2\u201315 m\u00b3<\/td><td>LCL, shared container<\/td><td>\u2248 USD 30\/m\u00b3 base + CFS both ends, docs, customs; all-in often 25\u201340% above the base<\/td><td>Loaded and unloaded at shared warehouses at both ends \u2014 re-crating matters most here<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15\u201328 m\u00b3<\/td><td>20 ft FCL<\/td><td>USD 2,600\u20133,200 to Le Havre before BAF\/LSS (\u2248 USD 260\u2013340 per TEU) and any Cape surcharge<\/td><td>Sealed in Foshan, opened at your door or a bonded warehouse in France<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>28\u201368 m\u00b3<\/td><td>40 ft high-cube FCL<\/td><td>USD 4,100\u20135,000 to Le Havre before surcharges<\/td><td>Your cargo only; loaded by zone and floor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>68 m\u00b3 +<\/td><td>Two containers or phased<\/td><td>Two boxes, or one now and one when the site is ready<\/td><td>Phased shipping suits apartments that finish floor by floor<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule of thumb hides one trap: factory volume figures are usually 10\u201325% below the packed volume once export crating goes on.

In September 2026 most Asia\u2013North Europe services are still routed round the Cape of Good Hope, so plan on 25\u201335 days port to port from Shenzhen (Yantian), Nansha or Hong Kong, with sailings two to four times a week; Fos is a few days shorter on Mediterranean loops. Add one to two weeks for import clearance, VAT payment or deferment and delivery booking, and a further one to three days of trucking to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"sf-timeline\">\n  <li><time>Foshan \u00b7 week 0<\/time><b>Consolidation and export packing<\/b><p>Pieces from several factories collected at one warehouse, inspected, re-crated where the factory packing is thin, and loaded by zone.<\/p><\/li>\n  <li><time>Week 1<\/time><b>Trucking to port and export clearance<\/b><p>Foshan to Nansha or Yantian is a same-day truck; export declaration filed by the forwarder.<\/p><\/li>\n  <li class=\"is-gap\"><time>Weeks 1\u20136<\/time><b>Sea leg<\/b><p>25\u201335 days via the Cape of Good Hope; tracking shared weekly.<\/p><\/li>\n  <li><time>Weeks 6\u20137<\/time><b>French import clearance<\/b><p>Import declaration with HS codes, commercial invoice and packing list; duty (mostly 0%) and 20% import VAT paid or deferred by the importer of record.<\/p><\/li>\n  <li><time>Weeks 7\u20138<\/time><b>Delivery to the door<\/b><p>Container on a chassis where the site allows, otherwise transloaded to a box truck; unloading, unpacking, assembly and packaging removal scoped in advance.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"duty-vat\">Duty, VAT and the HS codes that matter<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most furniture enters the EU duty-free from China.

A VAT-registered French company recovers it on its return (and since 2022 can use the postponed accounting mechanism so no cash changes hands at the border); a private buyer pays it as a final cost. Budget the total landed cost at ex-works plus freight plus VAT plus delivery, or roughly 25\u201345% on top of the ex-works price for a full container to France, more for small LCL lots.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anti-dumping.<\/strong> The EU has no anti-dumping or countervailing duty on Chinese seating, household or hospitality furniture as of September 2026. The one open chapter-94 proceeding, initiated on 10 June 2026, concerns bolted and boltless steel shelving units (TARIC 9403 20 80 20 and 9403 99 10 20) and does not cover beds, tables, seats or outdoor furniture.
