What is GVMS?

What is GVMS?

GVMS stands for the ‘Goods Vehicle Movement Service’.

From the 1st January 2021, goods moving into and out of the UK will be subject to new customs controls because the UK has left the EU Customs Union.

It is now possible to register for the GVMS, which the UK Government is encouraging hauliers to do so if you move goods in & out of the UK.

You can register here:

• Register for the Goods Vehicle Movement Service – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

HMRC have also released two videos on YouTube about GVMS which provides information on GVMS and how the service will work.

You can watch these videos by clicking on the below links:

• HMRC Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) Webinar for EU-GB Movements
• HMRC Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) Webinar for GB-NI Movements

BIFA have also made available some very helpful models with how the GVMS will work and when key information will need to be transmitted & updated here. You can check that out here:

• PowerPoint Presentation (bifa.org)
