Where are border food checks taking place leaving our ports for Europe?

The lorry driver ham sandwich incident indicated that the Dutch were doing checks on arrival in The Netherlands.

Does anyone know where the French checks are taking place, i.e. before you board here or on arrival Calais etc.?

I wonder if in time we will see French dairy products able to be purchased on the ferry?

If its the tunnel you go through British then French on Dover soil. The drive straight off to the sun

On the way back it is the opposite

I reckon they will soon get bored with it and stop bothering. The Dutch in particular are more likely to be sussing what happens generally.

By the time we get free to go, there will be that many going over they won't even look at you.

Never seen a French bloke move yet when we drive through the tunnel, cannot see them changing

My car was nearly always searched when leaving from or returning to Hull. Boot and all bags emptied. Never searched when on Seacat or hovercraft. Perhaps the difference was family car, shorter hair and children.
