CCS-UK Planned Downtime

Historic - 30th January, 12:00 - 13:30

CCS-UK have a planned outage scheduled for Tuesday 30th January at 12pm – 1:30pm. 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 is 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 1:30pm on the 30th. 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.

** Please do not send any messages during this downtime as they may be deleted and would need resubmitting. **

 

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.

Once the migration has been completed successfully, CCS-UK will send a notification to state we are now in CDS Exports Phase 1.

 

CCS-UK and HMRC apologises for the short notice and the inconvenience caused, thanks you for your patience.
