International rail freight: UK border requirements and processes

Back to News

Customs and security requirements for rail freight movements entering or leaving the UK.

This guidance outlines the customs and security requirements of the UK government for rail freight movements entering or leaving the UK via the Channel Tunnel.

This guidance covers rail freight movements only, not other traffic flows through the Channel Tunnel, such as freight shuttles carrying heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).

It does not contain the customs and security requirements of other nations, including the EU. You will need to be aware of EU countries’ import and export rules when exporting from or importing goods into the UK.
