How to buy from Apple in France
Yes. Apple ships to France itself, but freight and import duty are billed separately. Transit is 5-9 days after dispatch from our United States warehouse. No delivered order on this route yet: your quote adds item price, freight by weight, duty and tax into one EUR total before you pay.
