CCS-UK ready for CDS switch

[ February 27, 2024   //   ]

CCS-UK says it has migrated to the HMRC new CDS (Customs Declaration Service) platform and that its users can now submit for all air exports as well as imports through the new system.

CDS is due to replace HMRC’s ageing CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight) system by the end of the year and is already handling all import declarations. CCS UK says it was the first community system provider to offer CDS import, in January 2021.

It said that it had fully tested CDS exports, allowing users to migrate their declarations in a controlled manner, during HMRC’s designated migration window.

CCS-UK user group programme director Guy Thompson, said: “The CCS-UK export migration is a major achievement, and testament to the hard work and strong collaboration between BT and its delivery partners, the CCS-UK User Group, CCS-UK users, freight software providers, trade associations and HMRC.”
