HMRC delays CDS export function

HMRC has delayed the roll-out of its new customs platform for exports following a series of outages for imports that left traders furious.

Customs Declaration Service (CDS) replaced Customs Handling Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) as the UK import platform this year, with exports expected to come online 31 January.

After 30 September 2022, you won’t be able to make import declarations on CHIEF

After 31 March 2023, you won’t be able to make export declarations on CHIEF

HMRC recently sent letters to 220,000 GB VAT registered traders and although not all of them will be importers and or exporters, and many will use the services of a broker or forwarder, this communication is indicative of the lack of awareness – and lack of preparedness – for the impending move
