Are you ready for CDS?
The way your customs declarations are processed is changing?
From the 1st October 2022 all import
The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) is the long-term replacement for the current CHIEF system – replacing a system based on paperwork with a digital platform.
To continue trading, from 1 October 2022 all international trade businesses must be able to complete their customs declarations via the Customs Declaration Service.
You must make sure to follow the 5 steps for moving to CDS before the 30 September deadline.
We recommend consulting the Customs Declaration Service toolkit for full information on the transition. If your appointed customs agent/s haven’t contacted you already, we advise making contact to confirm they are ready to use CDS and clarify future arrangements for completing your customs declarations.
