Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Government plans to retire its Chief customs system and transition to the Customs Declaration Service for GB-EU trade.

HMRC are currently dual running both CHIEF and the Customs Declaration Service. HMRC will continue to work with key delivery partners and declarants on their readiness for CDS and any change to a single customs platform will be considered as part of HMRC’s continued joint working.
