As a founding member of the European Union and a permanent member of the WTO, France&rsquo;s trade policy is conducted principally through the EU&rsquo;s Common Commercial Policy under Article 207 TFEU. Nevertheless, France retains significant domestic authority in customs enforcement, export controls, and investment screening, exercised through the <em>Code des douanes</em> (Customs Code) and related legislative instruments. The <em>Direction Générale des Douanes et Droits Indirects</em> (DGDDI) serves as the principal implementing authority.</p>
