Today, the 12th of November, HMRC has said it is experiencing technical difficulties with the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS), and work continues to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

HMRC has issued the following communication.

We are aware that not all goods movements on route to border locations have been able to create a valid Goods Movement Reference (GMR).

If you are able to complete a GMR, then you should continue to do so.

If you are not able to complete a GMR, then vehicles or trailers carrying non-controlled goods may travel without one during this period. However, you must provide alternative documentation. For example, one of the following (non-exhaustive): Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) (If unable to create a TAD, then photocopies or digital copies of copy 4 of the SAD should be carried); Movement Reference Number (MRN); Declaration Unique Consignment Reference (DUCR); Hauliers with empty vehicles can provide their GB EORI number.

We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
