CDS Data Interchange

Introduction

Vision integrates with HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service (CDS) through the CDS Data Interchange screen available in Vision Bond. HMRC’s CDS system is to replace the antiquated CHIEF system which handles electronic declarations for imports into and exports out of the UK, it doesn’t replace any other system such as ATWD nor EMCS. HMRC’s CDS first went live in 2018 handling a small number of specific declaration types and they’ve been continuing to build features into the system and expect it to fully replace CHIEF and therefore decommission it on 31/03/2023.

Vision Bond previously integrated with CHIEF via the CFSP Data Interchange screen handling payments of customs duty for inland locations such as customs warehouses, CDS has now taken over therefore the CFSP screen is now redundant.
