HMRC Drop in Session - TDR - 19th July 2022

Moving to the Customs Declaration Service

HM Revenue & Customs recently announced that the Customs Declaration Service will replace the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system from 31st March 2023.  Services on CHIEF will be withdrawn in two stages: 

•After 30 September 2022 the ability to make import declarations on CHIEF will end and you must move all your import declarations to the Customs Declaration Service. 

•After 31 March 2023 the ability to make export declarations on CHIEF and the National Export System (NES) will end and you must move all your export declarations to the Customs Declaration Service. 

To help you and your business prepare for this change, HMRC would like to invite you to a series of drop-in clinics aligned to the Customs Declaration Service Migration journey.

You will have the opportunity to submit questions and learn about key themes and FAQs on the following topics:

• Getting Access to the Customs Declaration Service
• Finance
• Tariff
• Trader Dress Rehearsal (TDR)

This session is specifically focused on questions related to TDR. We will be able to cover questions related to:

• TDR Overview / Capabilities
• Accessing TDR / CDS
• TDR Support
• Support materials on gov.uk
• Who to Contact for help

Ahead of the event, please submit your TDR related questions to the following email address with the subject heading ‘TDR’: cdsmigrationengagement@hmrc.gov.uk.

Please submit questions by 8th July. Questions submitted after 8th July may not be answered.

This gives us the best opportunity to ensure the session is relevant to the queries you may have provided they are related to any of the five topics outlined above. We will present responses to the most commonly asked questions during the event, and all material will be shared with registered attendees following the event.

Please note, we cannot guarantee that all questions submitted will receive a specific response. If you need further guidance, please refer to https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-trader-dress-rehearsal-service
