Back to News

Use these examples to help you complete declarations on the Customs Declarations Service for imports to Great Britain from the rest of the world.

The example scenarios offer guidance on Customs Declarations Service ( CDS) declarations for imports to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) from the rest of the world.

They must not be used for movements from Northern Ireland.

The scenarios will not be identical to your declaration needs. You must not use data specific to the scenario in your declaration.

Using the examples

These examples should be used to:

  • help understand the data element requirements in a declaration
  • see how the guidance on each data element results in specific entries for each declaration
  • cross-check your own declaration with an example for formatting and data element requirements
