What are the costs and procedures for exporting spirits from the UK to Monaco when only registered in the UK?

Exporting to Monaco from a UK-only registration is possible but expensive and complex. Members strongly recommend using a distributor or logistics consultant rather than attempting direct export.

**Recommended contacts and options:** - **MPR** — can handle the export route from the UK and is noted as more cost-effective than alternatives - **La Rue** — recommended as a consulting option for Monaco export logistics - **Krupa consulting** — another consulting firm members suggested for this route

**Cost expectations:** Monaco export logistics are significantly expensive. Members reported costs ranging from $5,000–$30,000 per month depending on the operation, with one member noting they had paid $10,000–$5,000 per month. Members warned "way too expensive" for direct handling and "do not recommend" attempting this without professional help.

**Caveat:** The community consensus was strongly against attempting Monaco export without professional support, particularly for small shipments (e.g., 20 cases). Using a licensed distributor or consultant is the standard approach.
