Report exports that arrived or left a UK port that were not notified in CDS

Before you start

You can use this service to tell HMRC when your goods:

• arrive at a UK port which does not use an inventory linked system for exports or the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) for exports and an approved loader is not available
• depart from a UK port which does not use an inventory linked system for exports or GVMS for exports and an approved loader is not available
• are excise duty suspended goods or goods covered by a standard individual export licence (SIEL) that depart from other locations:
  • which use an inventory linked system for exports
  • which use GVMS for exports
  • where an approved loader is available
• are exported, and you did not get clearance from HMRC in advance

You’ll also need:
