COVID-19 testing
Hauliers need proof of a negative COVID-19 test to enter some countries. Drivers and crew using Dover and Eurotunnel will get fast-tracked past queues if they get tested and have a valid Kent Access Permit before arriving in Kent.
Hauliers who enter England from abroad need to take tests if they are in England for longer than 2 days.
