GMR Generation
Goods Movement Reference in 15 minutes, any hour.
GMR generation is the one step that can hold an entire UK-EU movement at the gate. We treat it as a live operations service, not a back-office task. Once your declarations are prepared, send us the reference numbers — DUCRs, MRNs, TSAD — together with your vehicle registration and route, and our team builds the Goods Movement Reference on HMRC's Goods Vehicle Movement Service for you. During live trading windows we target a 15-minute turnaround from a clean file. We validate the declaration-to-vehicle pairing before submission, check movement status right up to the border, and re-issue if a crossing slips. If a declaration fails at the port, you'll have one bilingual contact on the phone to fix it fast. The result is a driver who arrives with a valid GMR every time, and a fleet office that never has to chase a border officer.

Frequently asked
How fast can you generate a GMR?
Our target is 15 minutes from a complete, error-free file during standard UK working hours, and within 30 minutes overnight or at weekends.
Can you pair more than one declaration?
Yes. A single GMR can carry multiple import, export, transit and safety & security references — we pair them all before submission.
What happens if my crossing is delayed?
We monitor status and re-issue or amend the GMR if the sailing slot changes. You keep the same point of contact.
