HMRC have created a new system to report any issues encountered with making a declaration on the Customs Declaration Service (CDS).
If you find a problem when using the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) to move goods across the border, you should use the online form to report this to HMRC CDS Operations.
The online form has been introduced to make resolving issues with the Customs Declaration Process as easy as possible; urgent enquires will be dealt with in 2 hours, and all other enquires should have a response within 24 hours.
However, if your problem relates to:
- Registering for the Customs Declaration Service ― email ISBC.eoricontact@hmrc.gov.uk
- The Customs Financial Account in GOV.UK service webpages or interfaces ― you should raise a support ticket by selecting the ‘Get help with this page link at the bottom of the screen that identifies the issue
- A declaration submitted in the test environment (Trader Dress Rehearsal) ― email tdrcommunications@hmrc.gov.uk
Who should use this form?
You should use this form to report a problem when using the Customs Declaration Service if you’re:
- An importer or exporter
- An agent of an importer or exporter
- A software house
- A community system provider (csp)
- A government department
