UK Trade Tariff: volume 3 for CHIEF
Forms, codes and procedures to use when importing or exporting goods. How to input data onto the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system.
If you’re making a declaration using the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) follow the guidance in the UK Trade Tariff: volume 3 for CDS.
Import declarations must now be made through the Customs Declaration Service (CDS).
While most export declarations can move to the CDS by Saturday 30 March 2024, we understand not all customers may be able to migrate by then. For this reason, you will have up to three months to migrate from when the CDS becomes available for your exports.
This collection brings together directions for completing the Single Administrative Document (form C88) and related customs documentation.
It includes:
- import, export and community transit documentary procedures
- information about customs warehousing
- trader data input
- details of customs procedure codes
- certain other special procedures for facilitating trade
You can use the UK Trade Tariff tool to search for import and export commodity codes as well as the tax, duty and licenses that apply to your goods.
