HMRC urge stakeholders to update their access to NCTS in order to prepare for the shutdown of the NCTS XML legacy system on 30th November.
The NCTS XML (Extensible Markup Language) channel is being shut down at the end of November due to capacity issues. This will necessitate users of the Transit system to update their access to NCTS.
Time is running out for any users of the NCTS XML channel that have software adjustments to be made to their own systems to make provision for the channel change.
