If you work in driver recruitment or if you have come up through a driving agency and are seeking driver jobs, then you may know how daunting it can be to go through customs. Even industrial workers and those seeking warehouse jobs often find themselves having to navigate things like this but now the process has been automated. This is between the UK and France. Once you have all of the data entered for the import and the export, you will have the CCT generate whatever declaration you need and this will be done on both sides too. This gives the client the chance to cross the border as smooth as possible and it will also make the journey across the channel much easier. Of course, since the UK left the EU, the formalities set now apply for all of the goods that are imported from the UK and vice-versa. For this reason, it is necessary for you to obtain clearance for the imports. This has to be done prior to departure. This is because if you look at the short crossings between Dover and Calais, you will see that the restrictions are in place. During border crossing, you will have the status of your import declared automatically and you will have the truck inspected at the border facility without any further checks having to be made. The challenge is to make sure that the necessary data is available and that it is not delayed until later in the supply chain. ALS have tried to make sure that they guarantee short transit times where possible, and they have also developed the Customs Control Tower as well.
This is going to help them to manage everything, and it will also give them the chance to make sure that everything is going as it should.
