Smart Border crossing

As part of re-establishing the border between the United Kingdom and the European Union, French Customs has developed an information system that enables businesses to automate the border crossing process for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). This innovative solution will be implemented at all entry and exit points in the Calais region and across the Channel-North Sea area.
The system operates on three key principles:

1.Completing customs procedures in advance by providing the driver with the barcode of the ustoms declaration before reaching the border.
2.Identifying the vehicle and the barcode of the customs declaration for the goods being transported.
3.Automatically sending crossing notifications to the customs declarant to prevent the HGV from having to stop.The goal is to create a more seamless and efficient border crossing experience by minimizing manual checks and paperwork.
