Details

Freight industry guidance on international travel during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, following government advice for British nationals.

 

International and domestic freight transport (including by air, ship, road and rail, including roll-on/roll-off transports) is classified by UK government as an essential activity in the context of its travel advice. The advice against non-essential travel is not intended to apply to international and domestic freight transport.

 

FCO travel advice remains under constant review and is being updated regularly with the latest information on restrictions and other measures in place in each country/territory.
