Introducing a new system to simplify French customs procedures Concerns about leaving the UK EU September 25 8:14
In Europe, if Britain leaves the EU, it is feared that imports and exports will be delayed because customs at the border will be restored. In the northern port of France, which is the gateway to Britain, a new system has been introduced and released to the media to simplify the process.
The new system was introduced by the French government in the northern port city of Calais and released to the media on the 24th.
In this system, if necessary items such as the content and quantity of cargo are declared on the Internet in advance, they can be passed through border customs by simply checking the documents.
At the customs booth near the wharf, the person in charge received a document from the truck driver, checked it on a computer, and passed it within a few minutes.
On the other hand, if not declared in advance or for animals and fresh foods, customs inspection and quarantine must be conducted. It was.
In France, if the UK leaves the EU, there is concern that the export of fresh food to the UK will be significantly reduced by taking time for customs and quarantine.
A customs officer said, “I am prepared, but I think I will have to deal with everything that is unexpected and unpredictable.”
The French government wants to make trade systems and carriers aware of the new system and minimizes the time it takes to process.
