Due to scheduled maintenance, you will be unable to access our online service from 9:30 pm on Saturday 31st May 2025 to 06:00 am on Sunday 1st June 2025 (8.5 hours).

Declarations submitted during this time will be processed when the service becomes available.

Creating, updating, or embarking a goods movement reference (GMR) during this time might be affected.

Only goods with pre-lodged declarations attached to a GMR will be allowed to move using Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).

For guidance on GVMS, read https://www.gov.uk/guidance/goods-vehicle-movement-service-service-availability-and-issues

For import movements using GVMS, you should check the declaration status and arrive where needed https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manually-arrive-your-goods-in-the-uk.

If moving consignments containing controlled goods with pre-lodged declarations, read the https://www.gov.uk/guidance/list-of-goods-imported-into-great-britain-from-the-eu-that-are-controlled and attend port inspection facilities or inland border facilities for goods to be inspected and released.

Exports should have Permission to Progress (P2P) before travelling.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
