Thanks for the info. Glad it went well.

My pleasure, nice to be able to share some hopefully useful info rather than always asking!

Hi again!

Has anyone recently travelled on the tunnel to France, and if so - what are the procedures?
I believe you have to declare it when booking, so that your car receives a firearms sticker etc on arrival, but there doesn't seem to be the option when doing it online. Only vehicle type/size/trailer etc.

Going to pick up a car next week so would like to use the opportunity to collect my hw77 at long last!

Cheers, Matt

I just called them, to get the up to date info.

As of October 2022:

You do *not* have to notify them when you book.

When you arrive at the barrier that will print your tickets, press the “i” button to speak to staff.
Tell them you have an air rifle on board. They will direct you what to do next.

They want the air rifles stored securely and out of sight.
They want the pellets stored elsewhere in the car eg glove compartment.

That is all. Hope this helps.
