For experienced GB importers

You already have imports moving through CDS. This is a quick compliance verification — not a how-to. Walk three checkpoints to confirm your set-up holds up, your valuation is right, and any historic exposure is dealt with before HMRC finds it.

1. Verify your set-up

Run the pre-import compliance checklist against your current EORI, CDS subscription, and agent authorisations

2. Spot-check your valuation

Re-check recent declarations against the customs valuation methods reference

3. Remediate any exposure

Correct historic errors via the right disclosure route before HMRC finds them
