GVMS, GMR & ENS Safety and Security Declarations
If your business transports goods between the UK and the EU, using the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) is essential. Since January 2022, hauliers and drivers moving freight through Ro/Ro ports – including Dover, Eurotunnel, and other UK to EU ferry routes, must generate a valid Goods Movement Reference (GMR) before travel. We provide fast, reliable GVMS, GMR, and ENS Safety & Security Declaration services that help hauliers, logistics companies, and freight forwarders stay compliant, avoid delays, and keep cargo moving efficiently.
Expert GVMS & GMR Services for Smooth UK – EU Border Crossings
What Is GVMS?
The Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) is a UK government system used to link customs declarations to vehicle movements at busy Ro/Ro ports. GVMS enables Faster border processing, Pre-lodged customs declarations, Automated customs status updates and Reduced waiting times for drivers. Every crossing requires a GMR. Without a valid GMR, vehicles will not be allowed to board at ports. Our service ensures your GVMS requirements are handled correctly, reducing errors and eliminating the risk of delays at the border.
ENS Safety & Security Declaration
EU & Northern Ireland
Businesses transporting goods into the EU or Northern Ireland must submit an Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) before departure. This safety and security declaration provides details about the goods being transported, sender and receiver, transport information and route and safety requirements. We handle ENS submissions quickly and accurately, ensuring your freight complies with EU and UK border rules.
Mandatory ICS2 & ELO Updates
Don’t Get Stopped at the Border – Prepare now for upcoming ICS2 and ELO regulations.
From early 2026, all hauliers transporting goods to or from GB to Europe, France or Ireland must hold a valid EU EORI number and submit an Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) for every shipment. These must be consolidated into an ELO envelope before arrival to ensure a seamless border crossing. To cross the border you will need a Valid EU EORI Number which is essential for all hauliers.
For all shipments from GB to Europe an ICS2 Declaration is required which needs to be lodged 2 or more hours pre-arrival and an ELO Envelope with a single barcode to speed up check-in.
We strongly advise adopting the ELO system immediately to avoid disruption.
