See message from CCS-UK

Following on from the recent CCS-UK data centre upgrade announcement, this is to inform you of the first urgent scheduled outage of the CCS-UK service will be on Saturday 31st May at 14:30 BST.

This outage will be longer than usual which will be up to 8hrs downtime. This is due to the amount of work to be completed, and we may also require an additional 2hrs contingency in the event of the need to roll back, therefore a total of up to 10hrs, completing at 02:30 1st June.

Further checks will be completed the following morning/day to ensure there are no service disruptions once the community busies for the trading day.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks and regards,
Cargo Community Systems

The planned scheduled maintenance on our Customs Declaration Service (CDS), will now take place from 9:30 pm on Saturday 14th June 2025 to 06:00 am on Sunday 15th June 2025 (8.5 hours).

Declarations submitted during this time will be processed when the service becomes available.

Creating, updating, or embarking a goods movement reference (GMR) during this time might be affected.

Only goods with pre-lodged declarations attached to a GMR will be allowed to move using Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).

For guidance on GVMS, read https://www.gov.uk/guidance/goods-vehicle-movement-service-service-availability-and-issues

For import movements using GVMS, you should check the declaration status and arrive where needed https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manually-arrive-your-goods-in-the-uk.

If moving consignments containing controlled goods with pre-lodged declarations, read the https://www.gov.uk/guidance/list-of-goods-imported-into-great-britain-from-the-eu-that-are-controlled and attend port inspection facilities or inland border facilities for goods to be inspected and released.
