Dear Customer

We have received the following information from Customs Authorities concerning a scheduled maintenance.

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

"Dear CCS-UK User,

HMRC has advised that there will be a planned CDS (Customs Declaration Service) downtime on Saturday 28th March 2026 20:00 BST to Sunday 29th March 2026 5:45 BST (9.75hrs).

Declarations should not be submitted during the outage period.

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.

Thanks and regards"
