Channel crossing situation

Currently, in general, cross-channel freight traffic is running well. However, the situation is still quite unpredictable.

Intensified security checks on the approaches to the Channel crossings

In recent weeks we have experienced several periods of delays due to unscheduled engineering work in the Channel Tunnel, which has had an adverse effect on our transit times. Whilst Channel Tunnel security is these days at a very high level, the approaches to the ferry ports are far less protected and on several occasions drivers have been subjected to attacks on their vehicles and consequent delays have occurred.

Further information

We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and post further updates as and when necessary.

Brexit deal agreed - customs administration from 01.01.2021

On 24.12.2020, an agreement on future cooperation and trade was reached between the EU and the UK.

An essential point is that between EU and UK for goods deliveries from both areas no customs duties are to be levied. However, this does not mean that the administrative "customs clearance" will be eliminated. This means that all documents and customs relevant information must be submitted by the customer in advance and only after the shipment has been released by the customs team of DACHSER, the shipment can be accepted for dispatch.

Please note that from 01.01.2021 this applies to all shipments between the EU and UK, only shipments from the EU to Northern Ireland are excluded. In particular, proof of preferential origin of goods should be provided. The most important necessary information for exporters and importers can be found in the document below.
