Trade overview

Monaco is a sovereign microstate on the French Riviera that, while not an EU member, is in a customs union with France and effectively operates within the EU customs territory for trade purposes. Goods entering Monaco from outside the EU are subject to EU customs duties, and Monaco applies EU VAT rules through its arrangement with France. Its economy is driven by financial services, tourism, and luxury goods, with minimal manufacturing exports.
