02 Rules

What to check before you order

First question: the zoning of your land

Before any quote, look at your municipality's general development plan (plan d'aménagement général, PAG): is your campsite in a green zone or in a flood zone?

In either case, the prior approval of the Ministry of the Environment or of the Water Management Administration (Administration de la gestion de l'eau) is required. It may be refused.

No HLL status in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has no status equivalent to the French light leisure dwelling (habitation légère de loisirs, HLL), and no 35 m² threshold.

Your campsite remains governed by the Act of 11 July 1957 and the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 25 March 1967. Our units are installations that must be included in your authorisation.

ITM, municipality, electricity: the formalities

Grand Duchy (general information)

Topic	Rule
Classified establishment	Adding units must be notified by registered letter to the Labour and Mines Inspectorate (Inspection du travail et des mines, ITM), under the Act of 10 June 1999 on classified establishments (établissements classés), art. 6. The ITM states within 25 days whether a new authorisation is required.
Municipality	Your municipality decides whether an authorisation from the burgomaster is required, or whether its building regulations exempt this work (Act of 19 July 2004, art. 37 and 39).
Electricity	Connection by an electrician licensed in Luxembourg, then acceptance by an inspection body, with a copy to the ITM. CE-marked equipment, instructions in French or German. This acceptance is included in our turnkey price.
Energy	Under 50 m²: outside the scope of the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 9 June 2021 on energy performance (art. 2, 6°).

Which documents do we supply?

We supply the technical file for these formalities: drawings, wiring diagram, list of components and the available reaction-to-fire classifications. Your insurer can use it too.

General information based on the Luxembourg legislation in force in October 2026. It does not replace the opinion of your municipality or of the authorities concerned.

Import, VAT and payment

You buy from Lodgeyard, a brand of REXOR GROUP LLC. Our prices are in euros, excluding VAT, and turnkey: the unit delivered to your site (Incoterm DAP), invoiced by Lodgeyard; the customs duty you pay on import; and the installation and connections that the partner installer invoices you directly, with its VAT.

Transit and customs clearance

The unit is landed at Antwerp and travels under customs transit to Luxembourg, where it is cleared through customs in your name:

• customs duty of 2.7% (prefabricated buildings, Chinese origin);
• Luxembourg import VAT, which your campsite deducts in its VAT return.

We require the manufacturer to give the name and address of the economic operator established in the European Union that it has appointed, shown on the rating plate and in the documents (Regulations (EU) 2019/1020 and 2023/988). Without that operator, the goods may be held at customs.

Payment

By bank transfer only: 40% with the order, the balance before the unit leaves the factory, against an independent inspection report.

Our general terms of sale for Luxembourg are attached to every quote (English translation; the French version prevails).

Lead times and delivery

For a first order of a model, allow four to six months from order to delivery for an expandable container house, five to seven months for a capsule: three to six weeks of approvals (drawings, component lists, reference sample), five to seven weeks of production for an expandable container house, 11 to 12 weeks for capsules, inspection and loading, sea freight to Antwerp, then customs clearance and delivery. Installation follows delivery. The schedule, date by date, is set out in your quote.

On delivery day

• A delivery report is drawn up. It is not an acceptance of building works: we deliver a finished unit.
• Write any reservations on the delivery note, with photos: missing items, damage, visible defects. Confirm them in writing within three working days.
• You receive the user and maintenance manual.
• Risk passes to you on delivery, while the unit is still on the truck: insure it from that moment.

Before you order: your checklist

• The zoning of your land in the general development plan, and the approval of the Ministry of the Environment or of the Water Management Administration in a green zone or flood zone.
• The position of the ITM and of your municipality on adding units.
• Your EORI number and your VAT number, to send us before the unit leaves the factory.
• Truck and crane access to the pitch: width, ground bearing capacity, slope, obstacles, power lines.
