Street food business setup in France

I wanted to ask a few questions regarding our street food business:

1. What documents will we need when we bring our street food units over to France from the UK, either via boat or euro tunnel? I have attached screenshots of the unit. We will have 1-2 units. Also, if we bring any supplies/stock over from the UK in the future, what documentation will we need when crossing the border?

2. Also, I wanted to ask how/where we can register the units with the local authority/council in France? Although we will be trading on a private shopping mall, I believe we will still need to register with the local authority/town hall?

3. Do we need to register our business with the “chamber de metiers/commerce” and how do we go about this? We will be selling hot dogs (pre-cooked) and churros which we make on-site.

4.Do we need a “carte de commerce ambulant,” and how do we sort this?

5.Finally, do we need to register our units/business with the “Direction Departementale de Protection des populations” and if so how?

Many thanks, Valerie,

Jonathan
