EXPP5120 - Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) export declarations: reminders

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

CHIEF will send reminders and ultimately remove entries which are not updated after a reasonable period of time.

The system will also issue reminders to users when a declaration does not follow an advice within a set number of days of the intended date of departure.

Currently, the reminder is sent after 22 days and then the entry is deleted after a further 8 days if not legally presented.
