Description: | The CHIEF Transition Programme ensured that Customs Handling of Import Export Freight (CHIEF) was able to operate effectively alongside Customs Declaration Services (CDS) future platform for all customs declarations when the Transition Period ended in December 2020, and it will continue for up to a further five years if required. Under the dual platform strategy, CDS will handle Northern Ireland trade, while CHIEF will handle all other trade. |
DCA (RAG) | Green |
DCA text: | The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Green.This is primarily due to the following factors: Following Release 1 delivery being successfully deployed in to live, all activity that was required as part of the cutover to live has been implemented. The CHIEF Transition Programme had a huge success in meeting the objectives of the Business Case, with 300 million declarations in the first year and 400 declarations in the second. Alongside this were the CHIEF Performance and 87 eco systems which were successfully sustained, and the migration and onboarding of declarants between CHIEF and CDS (Customs Declaration Service), to support the dual platform approach for December 2020. Following the successful delivery of release 1, Borders & Trade Delivery Group considered the lessons learned and revised their delivery model and Delivery Directorates have been established that focus on import, export and Transit end to end journeys; and customer strategies that sit across these for traders, hauliers, intermediaries, ports and the rest of the supply chain. |
