UK-Wide Roadshow helps businesses prepare for new Customs Declaration Service
The system set to completely replace the existing system for Customs declarations in the UK.
London, UK, Monday 9th April 2019 – Three organisations will be running a series of seminars ahead of August’s phased launch of the Customs Declaration System (CDS), the system set to completely replace the existing system for Customs declarations in the UK.
Agency Sector Management (ASM), the British International Freight Association (BIFA), and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are combining efforts to offer advice and guidance to businesses affected by the implementation of the new CDS system.
The seminars have been organised in response to concerns about the readiness of the new system, and to provide companies with the opportunity to fully understand what CDS is, why it is being introduced, how it will impact their businesses, and when the system will be fully launched.
“The move over to CDS marks the biggest change to impact the processes by which Customs declarations are managed since the introduction of CHIEF, which it replaces, and which is needed to enable importers or exporters to comply with the EU’s recently introduced Union Customs Code (UCC),” said Robert Keen, Director General, BIFA.
“There are significant differences between CHIEF and CDS, and still a lot of unanswered questions about what will be required from our industry,” said Peter MacSwiney, Chairman, ASM.
“These seminars are partly in response to questions we receive from our users when I attend government meetings regarding Brexit and CDS.
“The seminars will provide insight into those differences and address the issues faced by companies that make Customs declarations, which will need time to adjust their internal computer systems to accommodate CDS.”
The seminars are being held at a number of locations across the UK during June and July, with the first taking place on June 12th, 2018.
“We are experiencing high demand for seminar places, and we recommend that anyone looking to attend these highly informative events registers their interest by May 11th,” said MacSwiney.
“Registering is simple – send us an email providing your name, email address, and the name of your company or organisation as well as the regional event you wish to attend.”
Parties can register their interest by sending an email to ASM at asm-bifa-hmrc-cdsseminar@asm.org.uk, and invitations with full details will also be distributed this week.
Full details of the other seminars can be found here.

Our Mission
To provide a one-stop software and representative solution across the international freight supply chain.
“We will develop and support cost-effective, business critical software to match your complex requirements, providing communication and integration between freight forwarders, business partners, community and government systems.
We will protect and promote your interests by actively representing you on key industry and government committees and institutions, influencing strategy to minimise the impact of legislative changes.”
Our Vision
The objective of SESAR is to modernise European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures (SESAR Solutions).
SESAR’s vision builds on the notion of trajectory-based operations’ and relies on the provision of air navigation services (ANS) in support of the execution of the business or mission trajectory — meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectories without being constrained by airspace configurations.
SESAR Deployment Manager
The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) function is defined by the Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) N°409/2013. Under the oversight of the European Commission, the SDM function consists of the synchronisation and the coordination of the deployment of the Common Projects. A Common Project is a Commission Implementing Regulation which mandates the implementation of the most essential operational changes in the European ATM Master Plan by the Member States of the European Union and their operational stakeholders. The first Common Project is known as the Pilot Common Project (PCP) and is defined by the Regulation (EU) N°716/2014. The SDM synchronises and coordinates implementation against the SESAR Deployment Programme which is a project view of the Common Projects organizing their implementation into optimum sequences of activities by all the stakeholders required to implement. To develop and maintain the SESAR Deployment Programme in close consultation with all the stakeholders is another important task under the SDM function.
