Sending US equipment to Europe/France

I have a US client that has a small satellite office in Paris and needs network equipment.

 

They have an unused MX and a few MRs not in use and wanted to send over.

 

Are there any issues with this?

 

thanks

I don't see any technical issue (apart from a different type of power cables). Don't know about legal topics though.

Depending on the specific MX model and depending on where the device was originally shipped to, you may get into challenges with RF-related regulatory stuff.   Cellular-equipped devices, such as MX--C have specific SKUs for US, versus rest of the world.    My understanding is you shouldn't use the wrong SKU in the wrong place.   At a practical level I suspect it is most likely to manifest as APs ending up in Worldwide Safe Mode, so you'll want to read this documentation carefully

Transferring devices between Organizations is fairly straightforward and you can do it yourself.   Licences, on the other hand, generally need moving by Meraki Support:   https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Inventory_and_Devices/Moving_Devices_between...

My understanding is that you’ll hit the domain regulatory issues as pointed out by @GreenMan .  Typically you should only use bought in country/continent.

 

You’ll also have quite an import tax bill to pay 😂

 

Worth reaching out to your Meraki partner and see if they can sort you out the equipment locally
