A GMR is a barcode generated by the GVMS system. This simplifies the customs entry process for accompanied and unaccompanied vehicles.
When to request a GMR
A lot of UK based hauliers are already setup to follow GVMS procedures however, if your haulier is EU based, they may ask traders for help.
Thankfully getting a GMR is quick and easy. GVMS enabled ports include Tilbury, Felixstowe, Teesport, Tyne, Harwich, Immingham, Hull and Liverpool however some ports and/or ferry companies are not fully set-up for GVMS. Please check UKGov list of GVMS Ports for more information.
