* Community licences
* Vehicle insurance
* Driving licences
* Driver and Transport Manager Certificates of Professional Competence,
* Tachograph legislation
* Passports and identity documents

Cabotage and cross trade rights and obligations under EU rules remain in place for all EU and UK operators as if the UK is still a member of the EU.
Rules around the above list will change for road haulage movements from 1st January 2021. Preparation by hauliers and traders in all areas will be needed druing 2020.
