Ensure the UK company's name appears on the shipping paperwork, not your USA address. That way, the French Customs will see a shipment which has come from elsewhere within the EU, not one which has come from outside. Oh, and John Woodgate's recommendation to clearly state that the equipment is spare parts is also well worth paying attention to. Nick.
