See message from HMRCSubject: Barclays Planned Maintenance (CDS Impact) – Saturday/Sunday 11th & 12th May 2024 Dear members, Barclays will be carrying out planned maintenance on their File Gateway environment on Saturday 11th May 2024, 6pm to 12 noon Sunday 12th May 2024, this may have an impact on processing durations for some declarations. If you use Barclays please be aware: • For payments in CDS Cash Account or Duty Deferment Account, Faster Payments is the only bank payment scheme which would normally process on Saturdays and Sundays, so there is no alternative during the outage. The recommendation would be to pay into the account in advance of the outage to ensure sufficient balance was already present. • For Immediate Payment the alternative during the outage would be via the Online Payment Service using Corporate Credit Card or Debit Card. This doesn’t require any change to the declarations, you can choose to make the payment via any supported route, no matter which of the specific Immediate Payment MOP codes you use. In either scenario, no declarations will be rejected, but they will be held pending release or clearance if the required funds are delayed by the use of Faster Payments during the Barclays outage. |

These updates are part of a series of work performed over 6 separate occasions with the remaining schedule to be advised in due course. This is the third of 6.

See email from HMRCWe are continuing to experience technical difficulties with the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).
We are aware that not all goods movements on route to border locations
have been able to create a valid Goods Movement Reference. Users should keep trying to access the system.The following process can be followed: Vehicles or trailers may travel without a Goods Movement Reference (GMR) during this period, however you must provide alternative documentation. For example, one of the following (non exhaustive): · Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) (If unable to create a TAD, then photocopies or digital copies of copy 4 of the SAD should be carried) · Movement Reference Number (MRN) · Entry Reference Number (ERN) · Declaration Unique Consignment Reference (DUCR) · Hauliers with empty vehicles can provide their GB EORI number Postal Operators moving goods between GB and the EU will not be able to provide MRNs so alternative documentation can be accepted. Similarly, confirmation that consignments which qualify for the waiver that applies to parcels moving from GB into NI can also be accepted. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. |

If you use Barclays please be aware: • For payments in CDS Cash Account or Duty Deferment Account, Faster Payments is the only bank payment scheme which would normally process on Saturday’s and Sunday’s, so there is no alternative during the outage. The recommendation would be to pay into the account in advance of the outage to ensure sufficient balance was already present. • For Immediate Payment the alternative during the outage would be via the Online Payment Service using Corporate Credit Card or Debit Card. This doesn’t require any change to the declarations, you can choose to make the payment via any supported route, no matter which of the specific Immediate Payment MOP codes you use. In either scenario, no declarations will be rejected, but they will be held pending release or clearance if the required funds are delayed by the use of Faster Payments during the Barclays outage.

Dear Customer CNS Core Infrastructure Upgrade CNS will be performing updates to our core infrastructure starting at 22:00 BST Sunday 18th June 2023 and completing by 04:00 BST Monday 19th June 2023. This is a 6-hour window with an expectation for 4 hours of CNS work. No outage is expected. However as with any change there is a risk, classified as LOW, that a problem with the upgrade could be encountered which would require rolling back the updates. In the unlikely event that we need to undertake a rollback of the updates, CNS will require a two hour outage to all services within the 6 hour window already defined above. Should we need to invoke the outage procedure beyond the advised window, additional contingency communications will be provided at that time. These updates are part of a series of work performed over 6 separate occasions with the remaining schedule to be advised in due course. This is the first of 6. It is important at this stage to note that with each upgrade the risk will decrease for each deployment. The updates have been tested in our lower environments and we expect no disruption to Services as we update our Production environment. CNS would like to thank you for your patience during this time and apologise for any inconvenience it may cause whilst we conduct this essential work.
