Following the latest news announced over the weekend, please note that the Covid-19 testing is no longer required to cross with Eurotunnel.

We are pleased to inform you that Eurotunnel has been awarded AFNOR Covid-19 compliant certification with the highest possible score of 100%.

As part of our maintenance schedule for 2021, an upgrade of our engineering systems that enables the control and management of our fixed equipment in the tunnels has been planned overnight from Saturday 20th to Sunday 21st March.

In February 2021, Le Shuttle Freight transported 99,787 trucks, a decrease of 24% compared to February 2020, in a market still marked by the adjustments to new post-Brexit administrative rules, but with a trend towards normalisation. The compulsory requirement to present a negative Covid test, carried out on British soil less than 72 hours previously, for trucks entering France remains the most restrictive provision for cross-Channel logistics chains.

As of 00.01 Monday 22nd February COVID testing requirements for hauliers travelling from Europe to the UK via France are changing.

We remind you that all HGV and van drivers and their passengers travelling with Eurotunnel must adhere to the following requirements as instructed by the relevant authorities.

In order to ensure that your drivers have a smooth and hassle-free crossing, we have produced some useful leaflets so that they can easily understand which customs documents with a barcode are required on each terminal when carrying goods (except for postal goods only).
