Switching from CHIEF to CDS

Switching from CHIEF to CDS

The UK e-customs system is about to change: it will switch from CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight) to CDS (Customs and Declaration Service).

In-house customs clearance

CHIEF has reached the end of his tenure after nearly 30 years. Started in August 2018, the transition period is due to end in March 2023.
Our BIFA qualified operations team has already begun training on the new system in order to be fully prepared when on Friday, 30th September 2022, it will be no longer possible to submit new declarations using CHIEF.

Customs broker

Our Company is registered to use the badges of the main UK ports and airports and as a result, we can act as our own broker. This is of great benefit to our customers: first of all, it is time and cost effective because every customs declaration is handled “in house” but most importantly our customers can rely on us completely.

Customer oriented

Being fully AEO certified, you can be assured of compliance with all processes. MOL UK operations team will handle any shipment from start to finish, allowing customers to get updates along the way without being transferred from one operator to another.
