Customs — What You Need to Know
Since Brexit, every UK–France shipment requires customs clearance on both sides of the border, including checks at the Dover–Calais crossing. You provide the commercial invoice, packing list, and EORI number; we issue the CMR consignment note and coordinate clearance through our partner customs agencies — so your shipment doesn't sit waiting at the border.
