Inland border facilities are UK government sites where customs and document checks can occur away from port locations. The two Inland Border Facilities in Great Britain are based at Sevington (Ashford) and Holyhead.
The Sevington inland border facility undertakes the following functions:
- Office of Departure for starting Transit movements
- Office of Destination for ending Transit movements
- Stamping ATA and TIR Carnets
- Checking and processing CITES permits
The Holyhead inland border undertakes the following functions:
- Office of Departure for starting Transit movements
- Office of Destination for ending Transit movements
- Stamping ATA and TIR Carnets
- Checking and processing CITES permits
- Undertaking physical checks and inspections
Up until 31 December 2023, ATA Carnets could also be stamped at Stop 24 (Dover) and Dover Western Docks. However, from 1 January 2024, Stop 24 will no longer offer stamping of ATA Carnets, and Dover Western Docks will only give ATA endorsement through commercial operations.
