Moose,
You are of course totally correct but I still feel I had to remind everyone
that it is technically wrong. Now I will probably be the first to hold my
hand up and say the system itself is set up wrong in the first place. If you
can't enforce it why have the rule? (oh is that the sound of another can of
worms being opened ;)

But as a practical matter non-enforceable. I'm not encouraging it, just
pointing out that French authorities would be more than unlikely to attempt
enforcement for a few euros across the Atlantic and the recipient has, of
course, no idea why the sender ticked that box, probably misunderstood the
form or made a mistake.
