HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has revealed plans for a "simplified frontier declaration" that would allow importers and hauliers to cross from the EU into the UK with no delay, in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Lorries will be able to drive straight off ferries and Channel Tunnel trains without making customs declarations in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the government has announced. The new guidance said an online form can be filled out two hours ahead of a ferry crossing and one hour before a Channel Tunnel journey, and pay duties as much as a month later. A customs officer at Dover will have access to all information about goods entering or leaving Britain via the port - including their weight, size, origin, country of origin
