Update from HMRC on 23/06/2022
After 30‌‌‌ ‌‌September 2022 the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system will close for import declarations, and these will need to be made on the Customs Declaration Service.
The ability to make export declarations will end and the CHIEF service will close on 31‌‌‌ ‌‌March 2023.  

The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) is a service provided by HMRC set to replace the existing CHIEF system for imports and exports which is due to be was closed for import declarations on 30 September 2022, more information can be found on https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/customs-declaration-service. This means that our existing CFSP module (handling customs imports) will be made redundant.  As such we've integrated Vision Bond with CDS with the intention to switch customers over to the new system as soon as possible.is now redundant.

The new system is entirely XML / HTTP based which means we can communicate more efficiently with the service, in a more user friendly manner compared to the CFSP system. CDS is similar to the ATWD module, in that it does not require users to be copying / pasting files and EDIFACT messages manually; messages are sent and received at the press of a button.

...

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