HMRC have advised of planned outage to the Customs Declaration Service on Saturday 27th August 2022 to 4am on Sunday 28th August 2022.

We will be making changes to the Customs Declarations Service (CDS) on Saturday 27th August 2022. As a result, you will not be able to submit declarations, or populate GMRs with CDS declaration references, between the period specified below:

 

  • 6.5hour Outage on Declarations from Saturday 27/08/2022 starting at 21:30 to 04:00 on Sunday 28/08/2022 - (Declarations submitted 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 21:15 on 27/08/2022 to avoid any delays.
