CDS Trade Test – Answered Queries Log (AQL) Raymond Cameron Mick Buckley​ Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 8

Background • Specialist Projects team commissioned by the Director and DD to deliver new tools and processes to support Software Developers and CSPs. • To date delivered i) an FAQ and ii) a newsletter (about to be issued). • Commissioned to deliver a tool that enables SWDs to view closed queries raised by the developer community without breaking commercial confidences. • Explored IT solutions – restricted by time to deliver and commercial issues with suppliers. • Opted for a simple spreadsheet solution that would provide quick results but requires a) a one-off historical query review and b) essential changes to current ticket processes Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 9

What is the AQL and where can I find it? • T he AQL is a spreadsheet that has been introduced to provide software developers participating in the CDS Trade Test with visibility of queries raised by other developers. • The AQL contains both the developer's query and HMRC's response. • Each query is categorised to facilitate search. • The AQL will be published on Google Drive. Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 10

How and when will the AQL be updated? • Following the initial launch, we plan to update the AQL on a regular basis, frequency to be agreed. Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 11

Which queries will be included in the launched AQL? • To ensure that content is relevant we have opted to include closed queries you raised from 4 th September 2019, following Trade Test Release 8.1.0 • Queries have not been added to the AQL if: • responses were superseded by updated guidance • they contained personal information • they related to personal requests (e.g. request for an application ID to be whitelisted) • a final answer is yet to be provided • they were chasing a response to a previous query • they related to a past event – e.g. system outage. Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 12

Permission to share • A query is only entered on the AQL if the developer raising it has given HMRC explicit permission to do so. • If after receiving a response to your query you no longer wish to share it via the AQL, you must e-mail SDST within 5 working days. Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 13

How do I provide feedback to AQL? • You can provide feedback at any time via the SDST mailbox or via your Business Responsible Manager. • We will be asking for structured feedback via a survey in March as part of a formal review of the AQL. Customs Declaration Service | Official Marking 14
