buying online from France - import duty

Hello guys

is there a way to ship items bought online in France to be delivered somewhere by the border with Basel or so ?

Going to spend a few thousand dollars and wondering if I can avoid the import duty somehow. The parcel would be sent by courier and normally it needs a signature...

Thanks in advance.

If you spend a few thousand Euros (not dollars I suppose) you should buy with a 7.7GST in Switzerland.
