We at iCustoms are dedicated to providing you with up-to-date information on changes to customs laws. We are excited to inform you that the deadline for enterprises to transfer export declarations to the Customs Declaration Service has been extended by HMRC!
Originally slated on March 30th, 2024, you now have until Tuesday, June 4th, 2024, to switch from CHIEF to CDS for exporting products. This postponed deadline offers crucial time to guarantee a seamless and effective transition.
The Switch to CDS: Why?
The UK’s customs platform has undergone major modernisation with the switch to CDS. Compared to CHIEF, this new system has a more user-friendly interface, reduced procedures, and enhanced capability.
What You Must Do:
Subscribe to CDS (if not already): This is required for submitting export declarations directly from your application. If you’ve previously subscribed to imports, there’s no need to do so again.
Speak with your software supplier: Verify if it is compatible with CDS exports and start the authorisation procedure. Furthermore, ask about utilising their software in conjunction with the HMRC’s free Trader Dress Rehearsal service to get practice filing declarations in a test setting.
Find a Software Provider (if necessary): Resources are available if you do not already have a software provider that provides CDS export functionality.
Join HMRC’s Webinar on CDS Exports: Attend the forthcoming webinar on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at 9:45 am to obtain insightful knowledge. The seminar will cover critical aspects such as CDS prerequisites, acquiring access, comprehending declaration requirements, and transition help.
