CDS Exports Temporary Issues
Historic - June 17th - Unknown
HMRC are aware of some temporary issues with licence data flows between CDS and the Department of Business and Trade electronic licensing systems (SPIRE/LITE).
These issues occur when a CDS exports declaration contains errors which impacts the licence. As a result, the declaration cannot progress to a cleared status.
Do not use document status code EE (Electronic Exhausted) or ES (Electronic Surrendered) details on CDS (DE 2/3) unless you wish to exhaust or surrender the licence.
Instead, you are advised to use document status code EP (Electronic Partial).
If you have incorrectly used document status code EE or ES and you have exhausted or surrendered your licence in error, you will need to contact HMRC.
