|
| Did any other UK sellers receive a letter from HMRC a few months back and are
you intending to register in order to continue the importing/exporting of goods?
After reading that I may need software in order to do the declarations myself
or use a broker to do it on my behalf its all sounding a bit too complicated
for just sending a few Lego orders overseas!
It seems the deadline of 31st march for registering for CDS has been extended
to November but after that point I think I will just be doing away with all international
trading!

Didn't get the letter and not heard anything about this.
But I do work in cargo at heathrow airport!
I quick google tells me this is just a new system (CDS) which is replacing the
old system (CHIEF).
The only reason you would need to do customs declarations is if you were shipping
the item yourself - customs declarations aren't required for mail. (i'm
talking about proper customs declarations to HMRC and not the CN22 forms we stick
on mail packages)

This is the letter I received:-
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1083824/You_should_now_start_moving_to_the_Customs_Declaration_Service.pdf
and what your saying seems to make sense as I also had doubts that it was relevant
to my own situation but because of the letter being sent to me by name (Possibly
because I have an EORI number) it was enough to make me feel the need to give
them a call. I explained that I wasn't shipping cargo containers of goods
and simply shipping small Lego orders in the post with CN22's to which she
replied it doesn't matter how small the goods you are exporting everyone
will need to be registered to CDS if they wish to continue importing/exporting?
I don't know if she was poorly trained or something so I may take what she's
saying with a pinch of salt and speak to someone else for more clarity!

I'm going to hazard a guess at poorly trained/new/completely misunderstood
your situation!!
If you don't currently use CHIEF then I honestly can't see why you would
need to register for CDS.
