Cultural Tip
In France (and most EU countries) travelers must fill out a "déclaration en douane" when they bring goods over a certain value. The form is often handed out on the plane or available at the customs desk. While the wording is informal, using it with a fellow traveler is perfectly natural; with an officer you’d switch to a more formal tone, e.g., "Avez‑vous votre formulaire de douane ?".
