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. The procedure codes in CDS are split in two parts: a single four-digit Procedure Code (DE 1/10) which has to be combined with a three-digit Additional Procedure Code (DE 1/11). Information regarding the four-digit Procedure code (DE 1/10) can be found here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/appendix-1-de-110- requested-and-previous-procedure-codes-of-the-customs-dec laration-service-cds/appendix-1-de-110-requested-and- previous-procedure-codes-introduction-and-index-list Information regarding the three-digit Additional Procedure code (DE 1/11) can be found using the following link: www.gov.uk/government/publications/appendix-2-de-111- additional-procedure-codes-of-the-customs-declaration-servic e-cds/appendix-2-de-111-additional-procedure-codes- introduction-and-index-list In order to see which three-digit Additional Procedure Code (DE 1/11) can be used with the appropriate four-digit Procedure code (DE 1/10) please use the Correlation Matrix which is available for download via the following link: www.gov.uk/government/publications/4-digit-to-3-digit-procedure- to-additional-procedure-code-correlation-matrix-for-cds
