If there are any issues with the service we will tell you about the temporary arrangements to keep your goods moving.

Scheduled maintenance

Saturday 6 July 2024 9:30pm to 5:30am Sunday 7 July 2024

There is planned maintenance work for our Customs Declaration Service system on Saturday 6th July 2024, 9:30pm to 5:30am Sunday 7th July 2024.

This will impact users of the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).

You will not be able to:

  • add import or export declarations
  • validate goods movement references

If possible, you should add declarations to goods movement references before or after the scheduled maintenance.

The GVMS Core service will be fully available during the Customs Declaration Service downtime.

We apologise for any convenience this may cause.
