Travelers

From January 31st, 2020, the United Kingdom has officially withdrawn form the European Union. However, during the negotiation period which has started, THERE IS NO CHANGE FOR THE BORDER CROSSING FOR PERSONS, VEHICLES AND GOODS.

What will be the declaration requirements for travellers to the UK after 29 March?

• Identity check: no change, passing through the port of Calais to reach the United Kingdom is already subject to an identity check for each traveller by the French and British police authorities.
• Declaration of goods: no change except for the authorised quantities. Please refer to the UK customs website.
• VAT recovery: automatic VAT recovery terminales will be installed in the immediate vicinity of the identity control areas.
• For pets: if you are travelling with a pet, it is imperative you consult the website of the British and French authorities before arriving at the port of Calais.
