Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS)
The Goods Vehicle Movement Service system is set to be used to police cross-Irish Sea trade from 1 January 2021, and then for all UK-EU goods flows from 1 July 2021. GVM gives freight companies a unique reference number (GMR) that proves that they have filed the necessary post-Brexit paperwork, such as customs declarations. Without a reference from the GVMS, trucks will not be allowed to cross between the UK and EU.
