Inland border facilities are UK Government sites where customs and document checks can take place away from port locations.

As a haulier/driver you should not go to an Inland Border Facility (IBF), or departure port, to present goods for export until the goods have been given Permission to Progress (P2P) or you have been instructed to do so, by HMRC or the National Clearance Hub (NCH).

The only exception to this is where a ‘wet stamp’ is required, for example a CITES permit or ATA Carnet, where the Haulier/Driver must report to an IBF.
