CDS is coming.....
More than 220,000 businesses are being contacted by HMRC to urge them to move to the UK’s new streamlined customs IT platform, if they’re not already using it. To continue importing goods, businesses must use the Customs Declaration Service to make import declarations, after 30 September this year.

Even if you are not completing the declarations yourselves as a business you still need to make sure you are registered for CDS in order to continue business as usual. This process is not a straightforward one and can take some time, be prepared and register early to ensure minimum disruption.

We're here to help! Practical and clear advice and assistance for importers , exporters , agents and those that are completing their own declarations.
