Transport ID Guidance
The introduction of CDS is presenting some of our customers with a challenge regarding the identity of the “Transport ID” (Vehicle Registration), trailer numbers and country of the vehicle's origin. It can be the case that this information is unknown at the time that a customs declaration is being pre-lodged but is subsequently known before, or at the time that a GMR is generated.
Whilst the Transport ID is a mandatory field and is required in the guidance, we are putting steps in place that will allow us to submit the declaration on your behalf, and so that you remain compliant with HMRC.
HMRC Compliant
Option 1:
- We receive all the information from you including the “Transport ID” and we pre-lodge the declaration
- Either ChamberCustoms or the Haulier will then produce the GMR.
Option 2:
You don't have the “Transport ID” but advise us by email that you will provide it once known, and before the goods have crossed the border.
- We pre-lodge the declaration with “As per GMR” in the CDS data field
- We then submit an amendment in CDS once you can provide us with the information. This must be done before the goods cross the border. You cannot submit an amendment if the goods have crossed and the GMR has been arrived.
Non-Compliant:
If we don't receive this information before the goods cross the border, then “As per GMR” will remain on the declaration and your transport ID information will be missing. Whilst this would fail a compliance check, the correct information on your GMR could provide some mitigation but is not guaranteed to do so.
We want you to be compliant with HMRC guidelines. We also understand that your supply chain doesn't always work in the way that the guidelines expect. As we act for you under 'Direct Representation' we will follow your instructions as you provide them, whilst helping you to stay on the right side of the rules.

Trade update
The latest UK trade data for July 2022 was published on Monday 12 September. The data showed an increase in exports, particularly to the EU, largely driven by higher fuels exports (oil and gas). Click here to read the British Chambers of Commerce comments on the new data.
Revised guidance has recently been issued by the Department for International Trade. The guidance applies to those UK and Crown Dependency based firms importing products making use of duty suspensions and autonomous tariff rate quotas on imports.
