In 2001, HM Customs and Excise introduced the new, optional, “Customs Freight Simplified Procedure”
scheme. CFSP was developed to meet the needs of the business community by making non-EU import and
customs warehouse procedures simpler and more flexible.
Throughout its history, FCL has consistently responded to new trends and requirements within both the
freight and IT industries. Following a consultation exercise with its customer base, some of whom
viewed CFSP as a potential new market opportunity, FCL responded to this new requirement by developing
a new optional module. Our CFSP solution was duly delivered on schedule for the nationwide “go-live”
date.
The ForwardOffice CFSP module provides users with the means to create and transmit all types of CFSP
declarations to HMC&E with the minimum amount of data entry. When preparing declarations, as much
information as possible is pulled forward from a variety of data sources to minimise the amount of
data input and maximise accuracy.
Supporting all relevant types of declaration, the CFSP module is fully integrated with the Import
Operations and Warehouse Management modules. It provides full amalgamation and batching facilities,
accompanied by countdown reporting and auto-notification for pending FSD's. Utilising the optional
CSP-Connect module, Entries can be submitted electronically via the relevant CSP to HMC&E’s CHIEF
system.
The CFSP module enables the freight and logistics operator to offer a full CFSP service to customers,
while requiring minimal effort on the part of staff.
