Dear Customer

We have received the following information from Customs Authorities concerning a scheduled maintenance. Please consult our Knowledge Base article on How to Use the Business Continuity Procedure (BCP).

If you require assistance, please contact our Customer Support team via the ticket portal.

"HMRC has advised that there will be a planned CDS (Customs Declaration Service) downtime on Saturday 14th June 2025 from 21:30 pm to 06:00 am on Sunday 15th June 2025.

Declarations submitted during this time will be processed when the service becomes available.

Creating, updating, or embarking a goods movement reference (GMR) during this time might be affected.

Only goods with pre-lodged declarations attached to a GMR will be allowed to move using Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).

For guidance on GVMS, read https://www.gov.uk/guidance/goods-vehicle-movement-service-service-availability-and-issues

For import movements using GVMS, you should check the declaration status and arrive where needed https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manually-arrive-your-goods-in-the-uk

If moving consignments containing controlled goods with pre-lodged declarations, read the https://www.gov.uk/guidance/list-of-goods-imported-into-great-britain-from-the-eu-that-are-controlled and attend port inspection facilities or inland border facilities for goods to be inspected and released.

Exports should have Permission to Progress (P2P) before travelling.

HMRC has requested CCS-UK to pass on their apology for the inconvenience and to thank you for your patience."
