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.

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.
