Declar8 is a new application developed by MCP, a leading UK Community System Provider (CSP), for submitting import declarations into the Customs Declaration Service (CDS). It was created to address the need for a new application as HMRC is not replacing CHIEF HCI for CDS, meaning customers require a new tool to make declarations. Declar8 builds upon MCP’s existing reputation, especially with its established system, Destin8.
What are the key features and improvements of Declar8 compared to traditional systems like CHIEF HCI?
Declar8 offers several key features and improvements designed to enhance the user experience. These include: separating header and item details for clarity, displaying both CHIEF box numbers and CDS Data Elements, the ability to store and easily copy/modify repeat declarations, access using existing Destin8 credentials, support for multiple badges without logging out, replacing CHIEF reports with integrated status notifications, and providing an equivalent report to E2 where necessary. It aims to be as familiar as possible while offering a modern and intuitive design.
Can Declar8 be used alongside existing Entry Processing Software?
Declar8 is provided as an alternative to third-party software. Declarations submitted through other software will not be viewable or manageable within Declar8. Similarly, any amendments or queries for entries made using other software will need to be handled through that specific software, not Declar8.
What types of declarations can be submitted using Declar8?
Currently, Declar8 supports the submission of import declarations. This includes both inventory-linked (phase 2) and non-inventory-linked (phase 1) submissions. Export declaration functionality is planned to be added in the future.
At which locations can Declar8 be used for imports?
For import declarations, Declar8 can be used at any Destin8 location to which the user is subscribed. Additionally, it supports phase 1 declarations at any UK non-inventory linked location.
Will Declar8 support export declarations? If so, where can they be submitted?
Yes, export declaration functionality is planned for Declar8. Once available, users will be able to submit export declarations for any UK port.
How does Declar8 handle declaration reporting and status updates?
Declar8 replaces traditional CHIEF reports with integrated status notifications directly within the application, providing real-time updates. Additionally, an equivalent report to the E2 report from CHIEF is provided where required.
What credentials are required to access Declar8?
Users can access Declar8 using their current Destin8 credentials, streamlining the login process for existing MCP customers.
