France:
Following the changes to the French Carte Grise
application system, we have restricted our
involvement in the process of providing ICOC
documents to customers in France.
In the first instance we would recommend you obtain a
manufacturer's CoC, if that is
an option for you. For new/unknown customers, from 21 June 2018 -
we will not be issuing ICOC documents for use with Carte
Grise applications.
