What are the Import Clearances in the UK?
UK ports operate using an inventory system (Temporary Storage) or GVMS (Goods Vehicle Movement Service).
Some ports may offer a mixed model
As a haulier, it is important to know requirements for each port so that goods can be cleared efficiently without delays.
Where you are entering/exiting a port where a mixed model is in use, it is important to note which model is in operation at the quay/terminal you are using. EORI (UK) are able to clear at most major ports in the UK.
