As a reminder, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has stated that businesses submitting import declarations must use CDS from 1 October 2022, when the CHIEF system will close for import declarations.
However, on 20 September 2022, HMRC launched an online application to request permission to continue to temporarily submit their imports beyond 30 September 2022 in the Customs Handling of Import & Export Freight (CHIEF) system.
The company making the application will need to have its UK EORI number and will need to justify its request for an extension.
