View UCR Customs Status (via Export Voyage)

This section explains how to use the UCR search function to check UCR clearance status. If you are working on a specific visit, this search will only show results associated with this visit.

Once a UCR has been marked as Arrived, an arrival message is sent to CHIEF/CDS which triggers the Clearance process.

If additional information/checks are required by HMRC, the UCR will be placed on hold. For more information, refer to section VIEW HOLD. Upon receipt of Permission to Progress (P2P) back from CHIEF/CDS the UCR record will update from NOT CLEARED to HMRC CLEARED.
