SPS) imports (from the rest of the world, EU and EFTA countries) enter the UK via the Port of Dover and the Eurotunnel at Kent.
These types of tariffs apply to products of animal origin, plants, plant products and medium-risk foodstuffs, as well as high-risk feedstuffs of non-animal origin originating in the EU.
Therefore, with effect from April 30, three ways have been planned to determine whether appearance at a Border Control Post (BCP) is necessary or necessary for these types of goods, namely:
1. The driver/company can use the “Goods Movement Note” to determine whether it is really necessary to attend an inspection with the BCP.
2. Check if there is a message on the cell phone requesting the driver/vehicle to come for an inspection at a particular BCP.
3. Check information on customs information panels (when available) located on Eurotunnel ferries or trains. If the vehicle registration number is marked in “orange” color, it means the driver has to go to BCP.
