What is a GMR Goods Movement Reference?
A GMR is a reference number & barcode that is used in locations that a Goods Vehicle Movement Service is in operation. This is required for each vehicle & each movement, for presentation at a European border. The Goods Movement Reference is generated by the GVMS (Goods Vehicle Movement Service)
What is the GVMS Goods Vehicle Movement Service?
The GVMS is the government IT system that generates the GMR. If you move goods or are a haulier who moves goods through a port in the UK that has the Goods Vehicle Movement Service in operation, you will need to be registered. Ports using the service require pre-lodgment declaration references that are linked in one GMR.
Help with pre lodged GMR
Please note in order to get started, you will need to register for the GVMS system and also for a EORI number. You will be required to register for these directly. Don’t worry if you are already confused just give us a call on 01227 722 247 and we can get you registered with us, then simply talk you through the steps to get you there with the links to the government sites.
Often there is so much corresponding paperwork for a customs declaration that it just makes sense for your customs clearance broker to do your GMR for you in conjunction with everything else. This is why we offer this as a standalone service for busy hauliers who are just tired of the endless processing & as add-on for those coordinating their own goods movements & customs clearance.
