Lyon, France

About Lyon

Lyon is widely considered the capital of French logistics, positioned at the junction of six major motorways—A6, A7, A42, A43, A46, and the strategic north–south axis linking Paris to Marseille. With a metropolitan population exceeding 2.3 million, the city is France's second-largest urban economy after Paris. The Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) adds air-cargo capabilities, while the Lyon-Vénissieux intermodal terminal handles rail-to-road transfers for freight moving across the Rhône-Alpes region.

Customs offices in Lyon process a high volume of transit declarations, import/export clearance, and guarantee management under the Common Transit Convention (CTC) and the Union Customs Code. The region's concentration of life-sciences companies—bioMérieux, Sanofi—along with chemical manufacturers and food processors drives steady demand for regulated-goods customs handling. Operators transporting temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals or classified chemicals benefit from Lyon's experienced customs infrastructure.
