CCS-UK Planned Downtime

Date: Jan 22 2024

CCS-UK have a planned outage scheduled for Tuesday 23rd January at 12pm – 1pm. This outage will impact ALL CCS-UK services during this time.

The outage is required to install new CCS-UK software functionality in preparation for HMRC’s planned transition of Exports from CHIEF to CDS.

This a preparation phase for Export movement and consolidation messaging only.   There is no change to the submission of Export Customs Declarations at this stage.

If your business runs ITSFs or DEPs then please ensure that your software system is ready for the change post 1pm on the 23rd.  If your software system connected to CCS-UK uses EDIFACT messaging, then from this point, Exports clearance status (ROE, SOE and ICS) codes returned will all be CDS values, not CHIEF values.

To reiterate, there is no change required at this stage for the CHIEF submission of Export Customs Declarations.

There are further phases for the CDS migration and we will provide further comms and notifications in due course.
For the outage window, please ensure you have resiliency plans in place, or avoid these times, especially in the case of perishable goods clearances you are undertaking.

CCS-UK apologises for the inconvenience caused and thanks you for your patience.
