Management Support System Reports to be made available for both CHIEF and CDS from 4th July

HMRC have confirmed via the Transition Group Joint Customs Consultative Committee that the monthly Management System Support reports should be made available for CDS declarations from 4 July 2022.


The MSS reports make up a good part of compliance checks for those traders making declarations, and for those traders using agents to make those declaration on their behalf.


Any current (CHIEF) subscribers should automatically receive the new CDS MSS reports by email as they do for CHIEF.


The annual charge remains the same and includes both the CHIEF and CDS reports. Therefore, if both CHIEF and CDS declarations are made during the month, two sets of MSS reports will be generated at no additional charge.


If traders do not currently subscribe to receiving the MSS reports, they will need to register with HMRC. The link is below
