GVMS Requirements / updates

Goods Vehicle Movement Service – Effective 1 December – Declarants Required to Monitor the Arrival of Goods – Potential Fine of £2,500 per Uncleared Import.

At the back end of 2021, HMRC advertised that hauliers moving goods between the UK and the EU needed to sign up for GVMS. The emphasis was that they would be responsible for ensuring that the goods they carried were covered by import/export declarations and that these were registered in GVMS. This would ensure the automatic completion of the declaration process when crossing the border.

The problem is that the UK’s roll-on roll-off ports, especially Dover and The Channel Tunnel, are wide open. Many goods enter the UK without a declaration being made, either because there is no declaration, or the prepared declaration is not registered in GVMS. HMRC and Border Force are looking to tighten up the process.

25. March 2021 / Gondrand UK and Air Sea Express (Japan) are making tracks…

Gondrand UK and Air Sea Express (Japan) recently teamed up together with Maersk to pioneer their first ever block train solely for one client from Japan to UK via The Trans-Siberian Railway. A block train consisting of 40 x 40’ containers for a sportswear customer of Gondrand UK was successfully planned and managed by the teams in both Japan and UK. The shipment departed from Yokohama in January and arrived at Felixstowe UK on 2nd of March, having made the long journey and crossing Russia by both land and sea.

Maintaining the highest standards of speed and safety on this transcontinental route, the companies were able to tackle any border issues as and when they arose, ensuring a smooth and reliable passage from door to door. Demonstrating the commitment to the customer’s needs, this proved to be a bright example of synergies between ocean and rail transport in these currently ever challenging times.
