Customs Declaration Training

CUSTOMS DECLARATION TRAINING

Boost Your Customs Declaration Expertise

Prepare yourself to face customs confidently with our Customs Declaration Overview course, now updated to cover declarations made via CDS.

Attendees of this one-day course will learn the roles and responsibilities of each party involved in a customs declaration, the information that needs to be supplied and submitted by each party, and the differences between CHIEF and CDS.

Is your company prepared for the upcoming deadlines?

After five years of preparation, The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) will be the long-term replacement for the current CHIEF (Customs Handling Imports and Export Freight) platform – replacing a system based on paperwork with a digital platform.

CHIEF has already closed its e-doors for import declarations on 30 September 2022. The final closure for export declarations will be on 30 March 2024.
