HMRC is seeking views on potential simplifications to customs declarations and the use of technology to facilitate declarations and other customs processes.

This call for evidence is seeking views on potential simplifications to customs declarations and the way that businesses use technology to facilitate the completion of customs declarations and other customs processes.

This will be of interest to traders of all sizes making either import or export movements, including traders who complete declarations themselves and those who use customs intermediaries and so do not interact with HMRC customs systems directly.

It will also be of interest to customs intermediaries and customs software providers, as well as businesses who do not currently engage in international trade but may if customs processes could be simplified or better facilitated by technology.

The call for evidence will run for 10 weeks starting on 29 June 2023 and ending on 8 September 2023.
