Many businesses have relied on France’s Regime 42 to simplify VAT handling, but the current rules are changing from January 2026. That means exporters may face higher VAT costs, disrupted delivery models and added compliance pressure if they do not review their shipping arrangements in advance. This course helps businesses understand what is changing, what the commercial impact could be and what options may reduce disruption.
