Hauliers had been required to prove they have tested negative since the border with France reopened in December.
They are obliged to take a Covid-19 test before arriving at outbound ports, such as Dover or the Eurotunnel.
The decision to continue testing had come from the French government, the Department for Transport said last month.
But it appears French ministers have changed their position, with Mr Shapps announcing the welcome changes to the border rules on Twitter earlier today.
