What is CHIEF?

The Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system allows importers, exporters and freight forwarders to input customs information electronically. CHIEF calculates payable duties and taxes, checks automatically for errors and identifies which consignments need examination of goods or documentation, enabling faster entry for low-risk goods. 

Our expert team at Ligentia can handle this for you, but if you’re managing this yourself make sure you register with CHIEF and declare the goods.
