This week’s EU exit corner, 30 August 2021

Aug 30, 2021

In this week’s EU exit corner, HMRC has now confirmed that CHIEF can be used for airfreight declarations for a short time beyond 31 August 2021 and updated guidance has been published in several areas in addition to the latest schedule of webinars and support options available. See also the most recent EU exit bulletin which features every Friday in Chartered Accountants News. The latest webinar by the Trader Support Service is next Tuesday 7 September and is available for booking now.

The Trader Support Service Autumn update – webinar 7 September

The UK government launched the Trader Support Service (“TSS”) to help businesses involved in the movement of goods between GB and NI.  This webinar will cover the following:

  • Introduction to the TSS;
  • Recap of processes required when importing goods from GB to NI;
  • SPS Controlled Goods;
  • Supplementary Declarations including:-
  • Tariff Options;
  • UK Trader Scheme;
  • SD Assistant;
  • Apportionment;
  • How to claim a waiver; and
  • The Rules of Origin
  • Customs Special Procedures;
  • Inward Processing;
  • Returned Goods Relief;
  • Temporary Admission;
  • Entry/Exit Customs/Excise Warehouse; and
  • Questions and Answers.

A recording will be made available afterwards to all those who have booked this event. Register for this free event which takes place from 12:30-2pm next Tuesday 7 September.

Airfreight movements – delay on movement to CDS from CHIEF

Since our update in Friday’s Chartered Accountants News, HMRC has contacted us to advise that HMRC will be writing to all declarants importing goods from the rest of the world (“ROW”) to NI using the CHIEF service to let them know they can continue to use CHIEF for a short time longer.

From tomorrow Tuesday 31 August 2021, all import declarations for airfreight movements had been due to move to the Customs Declaration Service (“CDS”) from CHIEF. It is not clear how much longer CHIEF will be able to be used for airfreight movements and thus we are seeking clarification from HMRC on this point.

The decision to delay moving air freight declarations from CHIEF to CDS is based on feedback from industry and this Institute at recent HMRC meetings. HMRC state that they recognise the challenges, “including that the TSS guidance for air freight movements will not be live until Tuesday”, leaving little time to prepare. A copy of the letter that HMRC is sending is available.
