Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS)

Cargo Clear can generate GMR references for import and exports

If you are a haulier and transport cargo using a port in the UK that utilises the GVMS you need to subscribe for the service to get your merchandise through customs. In January 2021 the Government announced a new system that will be used by ports, mainly designed for non-inventory related roll on, roll off ports.

Hauliers licensed to use the Goods Vehicle Movement Service are able to get a Goods Movement Reference (GMR).

You need to have a GMR to transport merchandise from:

  • The European Union to United Kingdom (for transit movements only)
  • United kingdom to Northern Ireland

Carriers require hauliers to provide them with the reference generated by a GMR as soon as they arrive to use the crossings on these channels. This is applicable even for empty vehicles. Every single GMR includes details for a single crossing and can only be used once.

The Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) can:

  • Connect declaration references together. Meaning the individual transporting freight only has to provide one reference at the border to authenticate that their cargo has pre-lodged declarations.
  • Connect the transfer of freight to declarations, which means they can automatically be “arrived” and “departed” in HMRC platforms in real-time.
  • Inform customers whether their incoming items have been successfully cleared by the point they arrive in the Great Britain.
