Customs Declaration Training

Customs stamps - Customs Declaration Training by Business West

2024 is a time of great change for UK customs.  CHIEF (the old system for lodging customs declarations) will finally be shut off, meaning it is important to understand how the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS) works for export.  There are also significant changes to how the UK border will operate, with phases 2 and 3 of the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) introduced later this year. Therefore, companies must understand how to provide relevant information to clear goods in a quick and compliant manner.
