Your Move From CHIEF to CDS Is Plain Sailing With Ellerman City Liners

As you are probably now well aware, HMRC’s CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight system) is being discontinued and replaced by CDS (Customs Declaration Service) by 31st March, 2023.

The closure of CHIEF means that you and your business will need to be up to speed with all of the changes, any new legislation coming into play and of course using the new CDS system.

As your compliance experts, we want to make the move as smooth as possible, as well as offer sound advice and guidance along the way, which is why we have put together this helpful, ‘How To’ guide which you can download here:
