CDS is a new system, which requires further data to be declared, both for your import and export entries. This increased amount of information is required by all businesses from the 1^st October 2022 onwards. 

Businesses submitting import declarations must use the Customs Declaration Service from 1 October 2022, when the Customs Handling Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system will close for import declarations.

Businesses should check that their customs agents are ready to use the Customs Declaration Service. Those without a customs agent must set themselves up to make their own declarations using software that works with the system.
