The French Delta-T system will be taken down from Friday 22nd November to Monday 25th November to enable the French Transit system to complete the change from Phase 4 to Phase 5 in line with other international Transit systems. This is a change to the previously published down time scheduled for the weekend of 25th October.
Goods moving under Transit procedures must stop upon arrival into France for the Office of Transit function to be completed manually by French customs officers.
French authorities will be mobilising all their services to support goods movement during this downtime to offer the smoothest possible flow of freight traffic while the manual process is in operation
Previous published dates: Friday 25th October to Monday 28th October.
Revised dates and times: Friday 22nd November at 18:00 until Monday 25th November at 10:00 (Central European Time)
This downtime does not affect GB systems and no change in process will be required by UK operators who will continue to complete the SI BREXIT system.
HMRC have advised that they will be unable to answer any questions as to the French outage time and direct users to the following link to the French authorities’ website:
