CDS Declarations

Customs Declaration Service (CDS) submissions for import and export — HMRC's current platform replacing the legacy CHIEF system.

The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) is HMRC's current system for all UK import and export declarations. It replaced the legacy CHIEF system — for imports in 2022 and exports in November 2024. All UK businesses must now use CDS for their customs declarations.

We offer full CDS-compliant declarations for both imports and exports, including supplementary declarations, duty deferment account management, error corrections, and amendments. All submissions are archived for your records.
