Thyme-IT live with CDS

CHIEF closing for Northern Ireland
The use of CHIEF to submit import declarations for goods brought into Northern Ireland from outside the UK and EU is being phased out. From 31 October 2021, the Customs Declaration Service will replace CHIEF for these movements.
The Thyme-IT CDS solution is ready and we have customers engaging with the HMRC CDS Trader Dress Rehearsal service (TDR) https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-trader-dress-rehearsal-service
If you have UK or Rest of World imports into Northern Ireland and need a CDS solution from 31st October then please contact Steve Breen or the Thyme-IT C&E team at 01 206 0010 or at the email address below.
When is CHIEF closing completely?
HMRC will be closing the CHIEF system completely on 31 March 2023. From this date, all businesses in the UK will need to declare goods through the Customs Declaration Service (CDS).
Ahead of the 31 March 2023 complete closure, services on CHIEF will be withdrawn in two stages:
- 30 September 2022: import declarations close on CHIEF
- 31 March 2023: export declarations close on CHIEF / National Exports System (NES)
