HMRC wants to reiterate that CHIEF badge permissions will be removed from the system on June 4th, 2024. After this date, it will not be possible to submit new export declarations through the CHIEF system.

An ability to view and amend declarations will remain after the badge permissions have been removed, using the HCI (Human Computer Interface) and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).
