Customs Declaration System (UK)

Automatic Trimming of Extra Spaces in Declaration Data

What it is
: This update targets data handling within our customs declaration systems, specifically addressing the issue of leading and trailing spaces in data fields. Previously, such spaces caused XML schema validation errors, leading to transmission failures. With the implementation of automatic space removal, the system now ensures clean data transmission.
Affected Systems:
  • ATLAS Import & Export
  • NCTS P5
  • DMS Import & Export
  • UKCDS Import & Export
Benefit to you
:
  • Improved Data Quality:
    You can now be confident that your declarations will transmit without XML validation errors, thanks to the automatic removal of unnecessary spaces.
  • Reduced Manual Effort:
    You no longer need to manually check for hidden spaces, allowing you to focus on more critical tasks.
  • Increased Efficiency:
    The update minimizes delays and rework by preventing data transmission failures.
