Goods Vehicle Management System

From January 2022, GVMS will be used by HM Revenue & Customs and Border Force to control imports and exports via the roll-on roll-off ferry ports, e.g. Dover, and the Channel Tunnel. Each movement across the UK border will require a pre-lodged customs declaration, the details of which must be recorded in GVMS against the vehicle that is being used to transport the goods.

It will be the responsibility of the haulier to ensure that all of the declarations associated with a goods vehicle are pre-notified within GVMS. The haulier must obtain the movement reference numbers (MRNs) for all the consignments carried by the vehicle, which will be combined into a single goods movement record (GMR).
