PLEASE NOTE

UK Border Force imposes stringent regulations on DFDS to ensure that every shipment is properly classified as freight. DFDS would only classify a shipment of an accompanied, empty van as freight if there is / was another booking for the same vehicle for a round trip, but it was loaded. In short, DFDS must have evidence that the vehicle has already delivered the load or will bring the load back in order to classify the original reservation for an empty accompanied van as freight.

The above lists covers most types of movement outside of the standard driver-accompanied cargo but if there is anything else, please contact our customer service team.
