The single CHED D for High-Risk Food and Feed of Non-Animal Origin (HRFNAO) goes live on Tuesday 3 September. This change aligns the import notifications for both the European Union (EU) and Rest of the World (RoW) countries.
Preparing for the CHED D switchover
Make sure you are prepared for the CHED D switchover:
- You must ensure all draft CHED Ds are submitted before the switchover deadline at 01 am on Tuesday 3 September.
Please note: You won’t be able to amend these drafts, after we switch over to the single CHED D.
- Any new CHED Ds submitted after the switch, can be amended in the usual way
- The switchover will happen at 01 am on Tuesday 3 September
Changes to new CHED D
There are some important changes to the new CHED D:
- For the first time traders located outside of the EU (RoW traders) will receive notification messages that they might be called for inspection.
- There is a new question which asks if the consignment is travelling via a carrier that uses Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).
- If the carrier does use GVMS and ‘Yes’ is selected for this question, hauliers moving consignments on a GVMS route will be informed via GVMS if their load has been called into a BCP for SPS check.
- If the trader does not know if their carrier uses GVMS, they must check with the haulier, so they can answer this question accurately in the CHED.
- Following user feedback, the contacts page has been revised to make it clearer where your contacts should be added.
