Working with our Policy & Compliance team for Customs, we have introduced a series of CDS Compliance modules. This first part is based around an import home use, declaration. The first part will become mandatory and must be undertaken before any of the remaining optional modules.

  • CDS Compliance (Import Home Use)

Also available are the following additional regimes:

  • CDS Compliance (Standard Export)
  • CDS Compliance (Export from Customs Warehouse)
  • CDS Compliance (Outward Processing)
  • CDS Compliance (Inward Processing)
  • CDS Compliance (Temporary Admission)
  • CDS Compliance (Returned Goods Relief)

NOTE: These courses are intended only for those who have completed the CDS Compliance (Import Home Use) course, as they focus solely on explaining the compliance differences.
