HMRC has today extended the requirement for traders to the switch over to CDS for exports.
This means that the planned date of the 1st April 2023 to switch over to CDS for exports now no longer applies and traders will have until 30th November 2023 to continue to use the CHIEF system for export declarations.
The new planned date for CDS exports will now be 1st December 2023.
This will allow more time for Exporters/Freight Forwarders and Declarants to work with HMRC and associated parties to ensure that it can be delivered seamlessly. HMRC have taken this pragmatic approach following the lessons learnt from the introduction of CDS Imports.
