The new Vision Bond CDS module will handle the same transactions as the CFSP module currently does. However we have included all fields from the HMRC specification which will in theory allow users to submit any type of transaction declaration for all types of goods.
The CDS implementation has been broken down and phased in gradually by HMRC, initially they focused on delivering imports functionality, this is now all live and they are now looking at exports functionality. Our intention is to also submit an export pre-entry which we will begin working on as soon as the imports side is live and then look at what other messages would also be worthwhile integrating.

The CDS project from their side has however suffered several issues and delays, and we have often found ourselves waiting for responses from them HMRC in order to progress the integration so dates are not certain, the current expected timeline is as follows:
