HMRC’s Joint Customs Consultative Committee (JCCC) has announced that from Monday (5 August) changes to the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) will enable “the use of an XI EORI in the ‘Entry in Declarant’s Records’ (EIDR) field”.
EIDR change
The notice states that:
“Businesses with an EORI number starting with XI, should now use an XI EORI, if they have one, with a valid EIDR authorisation to generate the Goods Movement Reference (GMR) number in GVMS when moving goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
“If a trader does not make EIDR movements between Great Britain and Northern Ireland using GVMS, they don’t need to take any action as these changes will not affect them.”
Creating a GMR
The notice also states that when logging into GVSM, traders should use their GB EORI to access the system, but should then use their XI EORI with their EIDR authorisation to create a GMR for moving goods between NI and GB.
