How can 8Move help operators automate UK-France customs declarations at Calais?

8Move is built to help regular corridor operators reduce customs delays — export declarations (French DELTA, S7 simplified procedure) and UK import pre-notifications (GVMS Movement Reference Numbers) can be generated automatically from shipment data and submitted before the vehicle reaches the Calais terminal, eliminating the 90–180 minute manual processing window.

Soluciones de gestión de flota en Hauts-de-France

Hauts-de-France is France's northern logistics gateway: Calais handles 50% of all France-UK freight, the Channel Tunnel (Eurotunnel) carries 1.6 million freight trucks annually, and the Port of Dunkirk (France's third-largest) serves the Benelux industrial corridor. Post-Brexit customs clearance at Calais and Coquelles has added 90–180 minutes to every France-UK freight movement, and the ZFE-m in Lille restricts Crit'Air 3 vehicles across the metropolitan area.

For logistics operators running regular UK-France corridors, the platform pre-lodges S7 (simplified) or full customs declarations for standard product categories, books Eurotunnel Le Shuttle freight slots up to 72 hours in advance, and manages PHYTO (plant health) and TRACES (animal product) border control documentation at Calais's new Border Control Posts.
