2023.05.16 Guidance Uploading multiple MRNs

HMRC have advised that from 16 May 2023, there will be an enhancement to the GVMS which will enable the uploading of up to 2500 Import Movement Reference Numbers (MRNs) for EU to GB movements.

A function will be enabled to allow for the uploading of files into each GMR via the User Interface (UI). This is an enhancement from the current process where multiple MRNs have needed to be added individually.

This enhancement will not impact the current capability to add individual MRNs should customers choose to do so.

How it works: To upload multiple MRNs, your file must:

Be in Comma-Separated Values in CSV, Microsoft Excel 2007-present (XLSX) or Open Document Spreadsheet (ODS) format.

Have one MRN per row

Use column 1 for MRN reference

Use column 2 for entry summary declaration (ENS), also known as Safety and Security MRNs.

The upload will be a simple copy and paste function from the haulier systems to a CSV file provided via the Web User Interface (UI) which, when submitted, will upload those MRNs to the GMR.

For clarity, the Web UI will provide on screen upload instructions. A reminder of this information will be set out on screen when you make declarations.
