The Customs Directorate of French Polynesia has implemented a new visa procedure for export sales forms.
Since February 1, 2024, a new visa procedure for export sales forms has been established by the Customs Directorate of French Polynesia. In this context, travelers can now obtain the visa using a timestamp machine located in the international departure lounge. Once immigration and security formalities are completed, travelers timestamp the form and then deposit the portion to be returned to the merchant in the designated mailbox.
In the event of a check, the user must present their stamped copy of the form along with the goods they intend to keep in their carry-on luggage.
