Prior to Brexit, many French second-home owners benefitted from the free flow of goods between the UK and France. Perhaps you took advantage of the more affordable prices of paint and DIY supplies in the UK, stocked up on cheap wine during your trips to France, or scoured second-hand stores in both countries to find the cheapest prices on furniture and homeware essentials.
Unfortunately, since Brexit, all items brought into France from the UK are now subject to non-EU customs laws, meaning that both new purchases and second-hand items may be liable for VAT and customs duties.
