Can I Send Medicine to France? 

You may send medication to France but it is controlled through the French Agency of Medicines Safety (ANSM). Your shipment must adhere to the following guidelines to avoid complications upon arrival at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport:

  • Personal Use Only: Quantities may not exceed a 90-day supply.

  • Non-Narcotics: Controlled substances require a special permit from France to be allowed on import.

  • Original Package (container): Medication must remain in its original containers (e.g., original blister packs) so they have clear labels in either English or French.

Tips for Affordable Medicine Delivery to France

Searching for a low-cost courier service to send your medicines from India to France? If so, follow our professional tips to save money on your shipment without risking it being damaged or lost:

  • Consolidate Your Prescription Shipments. By sending one full 90-day supply at one time instead of sending three separate monthly shipments, you can save money on the base shipping cost per shipment.

  • Avoid Shipping Liquid Overloads. Liquid medications are heavier than non-liquid medications and require special packing (to ensure leak-proof packaging), which will add to the cost of shipping; whenever possible, ship your medications in tablet or capsule form.

  • Complete Your Digital Pre-Filing. By completing this process, you may avoid paying "storage fees" that the French Customs Authority may impose on packages held for manual inspections.
