Cross-border passenger and freight movements into Germany will continue to face ID checks and potential delays through at least September, affecting staffing, routing, and delivery-time assumptions for operators using German land crossings. The extension sustains a higher probability of refusals/returns and enforcement actions at borders, tightening operational options for carriers and employers reliant on daily cross-border labor. By formally notifying the European Commission, Germany is signaling continued use of Schengen’s temporary-control mechanism for migration and security purposes, reducing near-term likelihood of a return to fully frictionless land travel.
