a customs agent does the paperwork, this gives an MRN number, or multiple numbers depending on the load, the firm then inputs that into gov site to generate a GMR number, driver has this on phone or printed, you trundle to the port, its scanned & onto the crossing you go.
You might get pulled at French side, or UK side however & need checks & it is possible be in customs ‘jail’ parked up as something is amis with the paperwork.
Some goods need pre trip checks & I’ve moved stuff on carnet which is a different procedure also, needing stamps UK side & EU side outbound & reverse on way backNone of which was normal a couple of years ago, but is everyday and boring today.
The driver does very little, we dont have complicated forms to fill in or check over, just enter reg numbers etc and a bar-code etc. Having crossed the Channel, and left port zone, its plain sailing.
If you are having problems with e-docs, you`re parked and just sit and wait for phone or e-mail. Nothing that you as a driver do.
Many thanks, I did watch a You Tube video last year when a guy delivered to Germany and Austria, he filmed being detained in Austria for four days at customs.
