Regulatory framework

From www.douane.gouv.fr

Manufacturers must file an advance declaration of profession attesting to the use of denatured alcohol and have a "user" licence issued by customs.

Several denaturing processes can be used: total denaturation by Eurodenaturant (see Regulation (EU) 2017/1112) or denaturation by a special process authorised by Customs (to find out more about these processes and the denaturing substances that can be used, contact your Customs department).

The product thus manufactured can be distributed without further conditions, without prejudice to other regulations to which it may be subject (e.g. biocide regulations).

Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the customs authorities are temporarily granting an exemption from excise duties in the case of the manufacture and distribution of hydroalcoholic gel based on natural alcohol.

Cumulative conditions to be met

• Use a formula authorised by the regulations on biocidal products, in accordance with the modified DGPR order of 13 March 2020.

• supply your alcohol to a company with customs-approved warehousekeeper status;
• specify on your commercial documents (invoices, delivery notes) whether the products are made from natural or denatured alcohol, in order to facilitate their identification;
