Hi, my company had VAT registered and do VAT postpone. We could access government gateway and download postponed VAT statement for several years. However, we have a shipment just arrived at UK yesterday. Our forwarding agent advised that they cannot declare import with our VAT number. They got below error code when doing clearnace: CDS12005 REJECTINGVALIDITIONRESULTS – Authorisation error:party ID unknown or invalid. DECLARATION SECTION – Header, Fiscal Reference #1 DATA ELEMENT – (3/40) VAT Identification Number We checked our VAT number is valid on "https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-vat-number/known" and we submit VAT return on time quarterly as normal. Would you please help and advise ?
