CDS Training: Hands-On Workshops

Learn How to use the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) in an insightful, fun and alternative way - using blended learning and lots of examples.


As part of HMRC's plan to progressively phase down CHIEF services, two stages of functionality will be phased off.


“Very strong on the practical issues and thinking about key drivers for making decisions”, Sarah E., Lawyer

What you will learn

We'll go over the significance of customs declarations and how they should be completed. On the new CDS, customs declarations will be different. We'll go through the distinctions between the CHIEF and the new CDS. We will also walk through all the data elements through the eight groups. Finally, there are plenty of opportunities to train, even on a live training dress rehearsal system! We give demos of CHIEF and CDS as we have access to software to file customs declarations - we are a customs broker.


So, in short, what you need to learn:

  • How to navigate the UK tariff system

  • Declaration Categories

  • Data Elements.

  • Procedure and Additional Procedure Codes

  • AI codes

  • Examining existing UK customs regulations procedures

  • CHIEF and CDS are compared.

  • Document Codes and waivers

  • Declaration Completion Rules

  • Step-By-Step Guide to completing a CDS declaration

  • Declaration Scenario walkthroughs

  • Data elements explained

  • Testing on a live system


I have never used CHIEF or CDS before, is this course right for me?

You do not need to be familiar with CHIEF and how to complete declarations. If you have no prior experience with customs processes and paperwork, we will cover this too (although briefly). If you are new to customs, however, start with our Starter Training and this will go through a more detailed step-by-step advice to completing declarations and cover customs procedures and documentation.


With Customs Manager, You Learn Differently

We can do the same as everyone else. In front of a computer or other device, sit yourself down and begin receiving information overhead until your eyes begin to glaze over and you are unable to process any more information.


NO! We need to change this. And We DO!


Import and export declarations are important, as are the requirements for their fulfilment. To prepare you for the new system's changes to customs declarations, we'll go through the distinctions between CHIEF and the new CDS.


A new method of learning must be devised, one that is engaging and effective. Furthermore, one that doesn't overburden you with information. Thanks for visiting our reimagined blended learning environment.


You know, the one where you obtain it and have the money to pay for it. Do you desire a learning environment where you may study whenever and wherever you want, as well as one in which you can ask your teacher any number of questions you like? The one that allows you to go back and forth as many times as necessary?



Quizzes and Questionnaires

Our training is unique in that it offers a high number of quizzes and questionnaires after individual steps that you need to complete before you progress. This allows interaction and requires you to learn about the step. Without understanding the content, you cannot answer the question, and you cannot move on.


We also ask you for your opinion throughout the class. Share your feedback directly with your tutor.


Final Exam and Certification

Pass a final exam and get a shiny certificate to showcase your achievement.
