Import Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS)

We can create the inbound GMR reference on your behalf

The Government recently announced the introduction of a new system which will be used by ports operating a pre-lodgement model, mostly designed for non-inventory linked ro/ro ports.

This will be required for most import movements from 1st July 2021.

GMR

A goods movement reference (GMR) will be generated for every vehicle (loaded or empty) making a crossing via a GVMS route. The driver will need to present a valid GMR to the carrier at the EU port of departure and will not be permitted to proceed without one.

The GVMS system will also be used at certain ports to process transit movements if the port is listed as office of transit or office of destination.

GVMS Overview

GVR Responsibility

Although at present the responsibility to create the GMR lies with the haulier, we have registered for GVMS and anticipate managing this process for some of our clients, especially importers and exporters operating their own vehicles from Europe.

GVMS provides live status updates, and sends notifications if the GVMS record is incomplete or invalid. Our team will monitor this status to ensure the crossing goes smoothly.
