The Check an HGV is Ready to Cross the Border service is now live. 

It is designed to make it quick and easy for hauliers to check that they have the right customs documentation for the goods they’re carrying before setting off – preventing any unnecessary journeys and reducing disruption at the border. It is also the service that issues Kent Access Permits (KAP) to drivers travelling to the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel. 

A KAP will be required regardless of agreement of the outcome of the negotiations. Drivers can be fined £300 if they do not use the service when travelling through Kent or if they provide a fraudulent declaration. 

The service is available to use here.
