Update on Currency Code for Zimbabwe from 1st June 2024:

Following the recent change in the Zimbabwean currency from the Zimbabwe Dollar to the Zimbabwe ZIG, the associated currency code will be changed from 1st June 2024 from ZWL to ZIG. CDS will not be able to accept the new currency code until a software update currently expected to be delivered in July 2024. In the meantime, please note the following when submitting declarations which include a value in Zimbabwean currency:

For goods arriving on or after 1st June 2024, currency codes ZIG and ZWL must not be declared. Values which would have been declared in Zimbabwean currency units must instead be manually converted to Sterling using the appropriate exchange rate and declared in GBP. In such cases, the worksheet showing the calculations should be declared by completing document code 9WKS in DE 2/3 with document status code AC. Any pre-lodged declarations for goods arriving on or after 1st June 2024 which include the currency code ZWL, will need to be amended before the declaration has arrived.

For Supplementary Declarations with a tax point date prior to 1st June 2024, currency code ZWL should continue to be used instead of ZIG.
