Logistics envelope: a new function of the smart border
The logistics envelope allows you to group several customs declarations together to save time when crossing the border between United Kingdom and France.
A new app developed as part of the smart border, is now available on douane.gouv : the logistics envelope
Whether you are a company, a customs broker or a carrier, you can access to this app from your computer or your smartphone without any login.
The logistics envelope allows you to group several customs declarations - for both import and export - under a single document in order to save time when crossing the border, especially at the Calais/Dover Strait.
