Yes, and the same holds true for trucks leaving the UK
In the event of a non-agreement*Brexit, all*EORI numbers*granted in the United Kingdom will expire at midnight (Brussels time) on 31 October 2019. Businesses that have an*EORI number*granted by the UK will then have to apply for a new*EORI number*from an*EUMember State.
"If a truck doesn't have the right document we cannot board him. We cannot take lorries across that cannot enter the country," said Gert Jakobson, a spokesman for DFDS, which transports 1.2 million trucks between Dover and Calais and Dunkirk each year.
That was corroborated by a source at a different ferry company, which did not want to comment publicly.
"There's no point in boarding vehicles, because at the other end our French colleagues have told us we won't be allowed to proceed," the source said.
Both companies said the result of this procedure, given many trucks are expected to turn up without the right documentation, was likely to be tailbacks of trucks on the UK side of the channel.
