Goods Vehicle Movements

Overview

This API provides resources related to the Goods Vehicle Movement Service.

The Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) links declaration references together. This means the person moving goods only needs to present one reference at the frontier to prove that their goods have pre-lodged declarations.

The GVMS also links the movement of goods to declarations, meaning they can be automatically arrived and departed in HMRC systems in near-real-time.

It also notifies users via your software whether their inbound goods have been successfully cleared in HMRC systems by the time they arrive in the UK.

The sandbox endpoint is https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk.
