What changed
The Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) has issued a notice confirming the resolution of a technical issue that prevented the transmission of export licences from LITE and SPIRE systems to HMRC's Customs Declaration Service (CDS). This notice effectively signals the end of a disruption that impacted normal declaration processes.
Regulated entities, specifically importers and exporters, can now resume normal declaration procedures using the CDS.
