Additional declaration completion guidance and technical assistance can be found in the ‘Tariff Volume 3 Great Britain Supplement CDS and CHIEF’, issued by HMRC. It includes the 2022 requirements where these differ or where changes to standard practices are applicable. The supplement is constantly updated and needs to be used in conjunction with the Trade Tariff Volume 3 for CDS. The document is available for download here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/customs-declaration- completion-requirements-for-great-britain Customs procedure code One of the most significant changes in the CDS compared with CHIEF is the requirement to build the Customs Procedure Code based on circumstances.
