HMRC have announced a replacement for Form C81 to be submitted via the UK Trade Info website. 

On the 25 July 2022, Form C81, which declarants use to amend their export declaration, will be replaced. 

 

The C81 can currently be submitted to HMRC in three ways: 

•           Paper documents by post;
•           Electronic versions by email; or
•           Digital Mail Service. 

 

These will all be replaced by a form to be submitted via the UK Trade Info website. 

 

If you cannot submit electronic forms, please contact the help desk on 03000 594231 or intrastatenquiries@hmrc.gov.uk with details of the customs declaration and adjustment.
