Customs Declaration Services Programme

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the go-live operational date is scheduled for the new Customs Declaration Service to take over from CHIEF system.

Answer

The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) is being delivered through three releases of functionality alongside the CHIEF system. HMRC has delivered the majority of imports functionality through two releases in August and December 2018. The third release, planned for March, will provide the functionality necessary for exports. Some businesses are already using CDS, and HMRC expects all businesses to migrate to the new service after the third release has been implemented. In the meantime, the existing CHIEF system will remain available for businesses to use.
