The Department for Transport has issued new guidance on international road haulage.

The guidance advises HGV and trailer drivers on the documents needed to legally cross international borders in a UK-registered vehicle.

Drivers must ensure their vehicle is taxed and they must carry certain documents with them including:

  • the vehicle and trailer registration documents
  • certificates for any specialist approvals the vehicle has
  • a goods vehicle operator licence disc
  • licences or permits needed for the journey
  • vehicle and trailer insurance documents
  • a GB sticker
