We will be making changes to the Customs Declarations Service (CDS) on Saturday 25 June 2022. As a result, you will not be able to submit declarations, or populate GMRs with CDS declaration references, between the period specified below:


  • 6.5 hour outage on declarations from 21:30 on Saturday 25 June to 04:00 on Sunday 26 June - (Declarations submitted during this time will be held in a queue until the service is resumed)

 

 

You should submit your declarations and complete your GMR with any CDS MRNs/ DUCRs before 21:20 on 25 June to avoid any delays.
