Apr 8, 2019 Important information about changes due to Brexit The uncertainty about whether it will be a hard of soft Brexit is affecting the traffic to and from Great Britain. It has so far had the following consequences:The French government is enforcing Customs control of all goods prior to arrival at the border to Great Britain and this causes waiting time of average 8 hoursThe traffic situation at the tunnel of Calais and by the border between France and Belgium is very tense, causing long lines and waiting timeDue to the irregular transport flows, the terminal handling is affected, especially in France causing even longer handling time and effecting the flow of goodsThe delays mean that we have had to add extra man power and trucks to handle the work causing our cost to go up.
