Role purpose / summary
The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) is the United Kingdom (UK) government's electronic system for handling customs declaration processes. It supports the UK's trade with the European Union (EU) and the rest of the world. CDS allows traders to complete customs information electronically which is then used to process declarations for goods entering and leaving the UK.
CDS will fully replace the existing Customs Handling of Import/Export Freight (CHIEF) system for processing declarations to facilitate the international movement of goods between the UK and other countries and import declarations have already been successfully migrated from CHIEF to CDS. CHIEF will continue to run for a time to aid the transition to CDS ('dual running').
CDS is an agile delivery organised into an overarching programme which directs each of the workstreams. The B&T (Borders and Trade) Business Engagement & Intelligence Team (BEIT) facilitates Software developers and their clients to technically prepare to migrate across to CDS.
