CDS Volume 3 Tariff Clinics 1

CDS Volume 3 Tariff Clinic | Terms of Reference Context: Given the continuous feedback raised by external delivery partners regarding their difficulties navigating the tariff and in seeking responses to their CDS Volume 3 tariff queries, HMRC will be hosting fortnightly CDS Volume 3 Tariff clinics. This new initiative provides a direct channel for external delivery partners to communicate and seek responses to their pre-approved questions from the CUPID team. Queries to be discussed at this forum must all be submitted through the SDST process with an indication that these are specifically for discussion at CDS Volume 3 Tariff clinics using the query submission template. Trade will be formally notified whether their queries have been approved for discussion by the CUPID team the day before the clinic when formal agendas are issued via SDST. At the forum, members from the HMRC CUPID team will address and respond to queries and any follow up queries the developers may raise. Following the forum, outputs will be issued to external trade a maximum of 1 week post engagement. A formal record of all CDS Volume 3 Tariff clinic outputs will be maintained for the use by external trade.
