HMRC to offer exporters three-month ‘extended migration’ window to make switch to new customs system


With scheduled deadline for moving all activity to CDS just weeks away, traders will have their own switchover window beginning when the new platform becomes available to them, PublicTechnology understands

With the slated deadline for closing down the UK’s outgoing customs IT system fast approaching, HM Revenue and Customs will offer exporters an extended window of three months to ensure they can get up and running on its replacement, PublicTechnology understands.

The current scheduled deadline by which all export declarations should be made via the Customs Declaration Service – and after which the outgoing 30-year-old CHIEF system will be switched off – is 30 March. This date is a year later than originally planned, having already been pushed back twice.

PublicTechnology reported last year that HMRC was preparing contingency measures in case some traders found themselves unable to complete the switch to CDS in time because of technical difficulties.

It is now understood that individual exporters will have their own three-month window – beginning from the point that CDS becomes available to them – to complete the migration process. During this time, a trader will be able to continue to file export declarations via CHIEF, if necessary. The outgoing platform will no longer be available to firms after their individual window has closed.

Even beyond the three-month timeslot, HMRC is creating a further contingency process in order to be prepared for the possibility that a small number of users may miss the deadline for reasons beyond their control.

While it appears that the dates of the migration window will differ between individual traders, HMRC this week updated its online guidance regarding CDS to advise companies that, in general, “you should start submitting all your export declarations through the Customs Declaration Service from early March 2024”.

Documents previously published by the department have suggested that the aim was to complete all migration by the end of June 2024 – with the final three months after the 30 March deadline dedicated to working through an “exceptions list” of those that have experience difficulties in switching to CDS.

In a statement issued to PublicTechnology, an HMRC spokesperson said: “The migration of exports from CHIEF to the Customs Declarations Service is progressing well and we’ll continue to support traders and the border industry as they move across. CDS is already being used for all import declarations with more than 100 million declarations made successfully through the system since it went live in 2018.”

In the weeks and months leading up to the 30 September 2022 deadline for moving all import declarations to the new customs platform, hundreds of traders encountered difficulty in registering for CDS with issues caused, in many instances, by HMRC’s internal systems failing to correctly update firms’ details.

HMRC’s work to deliver CDS over the past decade has faced numerous major challenges, particularly following the 2016 Brexit referendum. The result of that process mean that, overnight, plans for the project – which was already three years into delivery – needed to account for a fivefold increase in declarations resulting from the UK’s exit from the European Union.

    Thanks for giving your ideas with this blog. Additionally, a fantasy regarding the lenders intentions while talking about home foreclosure is that the lender will not getreceive my repayments. There is a specific amount of time in which the bank can take payments occasionally. If you are too deep inside hole, they will commonly call that you pay the payment in whole. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. In case you and the standard bank can find a way to work some thing out, the foreclosure method may halt. However, in the event you continue to miss out on payments underneath the new strategy, the property foreclosure process can pick up where it was left off.

    Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on your site. A few things i would tell people will be to give up this mentality that they buy today and fork out later. Like a society we all tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes family vacations, furniture, plus items we would like. However, you must separate your current wants from all the needs. While you’re working to boost your credit score you have to make some trade-offs. For example you can shop online to save cash or you can visit second hand outlets instead of high priced department stores regarding clothing.

    One more thing. I really believe that there are quite a few travel insurance web pages of respectable companies than enable you to enter your trip details and acquire you the prices. You can also purchase an international travel insurance policy on the web by using your own credit card. All you need to do will be to enter your travel specifics and you can view the plans side-by-side. You only need to find the system that suits your capacity to pay and needs then use your bank credit card to buy the item. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to take a look for a respectable company regarding international travel cover. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

    One thing I’ve noticed is that there are plenty of beliefs regarding the finance institutions intentions when talking about foreclosures. One fantasy in particular is the fact that the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your cash, not your house. They want the cash they lent you having interest. Steering clear of the bank will simply draw a new foreclosed realization. Thanks for your write-up.
