ATA Carnets At Dover Port & Eurotunnel

From 1st January 2021, the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel are unable to process ATA Carnets. See where to visit on your way.

To avoid any doubt, the government’s border model states that from January 2021, temporary exports to the EU need to meet the same customs requirements as non EU countries. An ATA carnet is recommended.

Rather than have carnets processed at the Port of Dover, or Eurotunnel, alternative arrangements have been made to reduce delays.

Leaving the UK

Whether you are exiting via Dover Port or Eurotunnel, your carnet will need to be processed at one of the following:

North Weald Inland Border Facility
Merlin Way
North Weald Bassett
Epping
CM16 6HR

Ebbsfleet Inland Border Facility
International Way
Ebbsfleet Valley
DA10 1EB

Sevington Inland Border Facility
Nightingale Close
Sevington
TN24 OTP

If you are in a Heavy Goods Vehicle and diversions are in place, you need to go to:

Manston Airport
The Cargo Centre
Spitfire Way
Ramsgate
CT12 5FF

The first three are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Manston Airport will offer the same opening times when traffic management measures are in place.

Should you be travelling from the North, or Midlands, another option is to have your carnet processed on route at either:

Birmingham Inland Border Facility
Birmingham International Airport
BHX Car Park 6
B26 3QY

OR

Warrington Inland Border Facility
Barley Castle Lane
Appleton Thorn
Warrington
WA4 4SR

Both offer 24 hour opening, 7 days a week.

Entering The UK Via Dover Port

On your return journey, the primary location able to process ATA carnets is:

Dover Western Docks
Lord Warden Square
Dover
CT17 9TF

Where this is not easily accessible, alternatives are:

Sevington Inland Border Facility
Nightingale Close
Sevington
TN24 OTP

Ashford Waterbrook Inland Border Facility
Ashford International Truck Stop
Waterbrook Avenue
Ashford
TN24 0GB

All are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Entering The UK Through Eurotunnel

The primary location to have your ATA Carnet processed is:

Stop 24
Folkestone Services
Junction 11 M20
Hythe
CT21 4BL

At busy times, other options are:

Sevington Inland Border Facility
Nightingale Close
Sevington
TN24 OTP

OR

Ashford Waterbrook Inland Border Facility
Ashford International Truck Stop
Waterbrook Avenue
Ashford
TN24 0GB

Both are also open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Should you not be able to use the services in Kent, the inland border facility mentioned above at Birmingham Airport can process inbound carnets.

Transporting Live Animals

If you are moving live animals under an ATA Carnet, you will need to notify the Border Force about your travel plans, which will help them to prioritise the processing of your ATA Carnet.

UK traders transporting live animals also need to lodge a travel plan with Defra, before they travel, as in their guide to live transport.

We hope the information above helps and are here to advise on the use of ATA carnets, whichever route you are taking from the UK.

Managed Freight Services

ATA Carnets can be used for any mode of transport and are understood by staff managing land, sea, or air services.
