Germany has recently reintroduced temporary border controls at all its land borders, including those with Denmark, France, and Luxembourg. This initiative aims to combat irregular migration and cross-border crime.

Effective from September 16, 2024, these measures are expected to last for six months and will involve passport checks for travelers and vehicles at various entry points into Germany.

While the primary focus is on security, this move could also lead to delays, particularly for road transport services operating across borders. The increased checks are likely to cause congestion at border crossings, potentially leading to longer waiting times for trucks and other commercial vehicles. This could disrupt supply chains, affect delivery schedules, and increase operational costs for logistics companies.

Given that these new controls could impact transit times and logistics operations, we recommend planning ahead for any potential delays. It may be beneficial to consider alternative routes or adjust delivery schedules to mitigate the impact. Additionally, staying informed about the latest updates and being prepared for possible changes in border control measures will be crucial.
