You have to proceed to a temporary admission of your goods, otherwise the French customs will assume that you want to sell your equipment in France and will charge French VAT on the declared value of your equipment (French Value Added Tax is 19,6%).
Having a CARNET ATA is the safest way to handle this and has the advantage of ensuring quicker customs clearance. By filling this document, you state clearly that your equipment is not for sale, that it will be taken back, and that it is for a trade show only. The document ensures the temporary admission of your goods in the French territory and avoids them being retained at customs. 
You have to contact your local Chamber of Commerce at the beginning August.

Careful! Most courier companies do not handle temporary admissions.

 As a result, your equipment is very likely to get retained at customs in Paris (FR) or you have to pay taxes on your equipment.

We propose two solutions to handle your shipment and carnet:

You can contact, our agent, Francine Zwickert, who will help you organize your shipment.
