In a nutshell

When you run customs in-house, every answer is already in your account. How many declarations did we file? How much did we pay in duties and VAT? Which entries are waiting on us? You should not have to wait for a spreadsheet at the end of the month.

CDUK turns your filing into live dashboards, ready-made reports and a report builder that you control yourself. Start with the broader picture, narrow down to the detail, then save any report and schedule it.

It all comes from the declarations your own team files, so the numbers always match the record.

Reporting is included with your account.

From glance to deep dive

Four levels of insight, one platform.

Begin with a dashboard for an overview, move to a ready-made report when you need detailed records, build your own customised reports when addressing a specific question, and automate the ones you run regularly.

Dashboards

Everything you need to know, at a glance.

Each dashboard view answers a question your team asks all the time. Together they show your trade as it happens.

  • Trade pulse

    Headline tiles for declarations filed, supplier countries, trailers and containers, and goods moved. Each shows the change on the previous month and a six-month trend line.

  • Declaration activity

    Filings by month, split by flow, for example EU imports, rest of world and customs warehouse. Hover for the detail of any month and read an insight such as which month was busiest.

  • Trade corridors

    See your inbound and outbound lanes by volume and by mode: road, sea or air. Spot your busiest lanes without opening a single declaration.

  • Duty and VAT

    Customs duty paid and import VAT accounted for through postponed VAT accounting, month by month. The figures finance needs, straight from your own filings.

  • Needs attention

    Entries with queries, rejections or documents still outstanding are brought to the front. Your team sees what to deal with next, before it becomes a delay.

  • Standard reports

    A declarations register with every filing, its MRN, status and HMRC responses. Duty and VAT by month, ready to match to the postponed VAT statement, plus supplier and origin and trade lanes.

Reporting made simple

Ready-made reports, and reports in your own words.

Have a familiar report on screen straight away, or build a very specific one. Both examples below are illustrative.

Standard reports

Pick a report, filter, search.

Choose a ready-made report, set the filters that matter and search. Results appear on screen straight away, with the same figures your team sees in the declaration itself.

  • Ready-made reports such as CDS: duties paid between dates
  • Filter by reference, MRN, importer, exporter, commodity or status
  • Choose the date type that suits the question
Describe it, we build it

Type the question. AI sets the criteria.

Describe the report in plain English and AI turns it into criteria you can read, check and change.

  • Try: submitted in the last 7 days that were rejected
  • Or: anything still not cleared from the last 3 months
  • Switch between matching ALL or ANY of your conditions
The advanced reporting engine

Build a report in four steps.

Every step is guided, and a live preview shows matching records before you save.

  1. Service

    Choose what to report on: CDS Import, CDS Export, ENS, ICS2, NCTS Departures, NCTS Arrivals or GVMS Movements.

  2. Criteria

    Describe the report in plain English, start from a common report, or build the conditions yourself with nested groups of up to 50 conditions, two levels deep.

  3. Columns

    Pick from the service's fields, grouped to make them easy to find (around 120 for CDS imports), or keep the default columns.

  4. Output

    Choose Excel, CSV or PDF, then the sort field and order.

  5. Preview, save and share

    Check a live preview, then Save or Save & run. Keep the report private to you or share it with your team.

Your reports, always ready

A library you can run and automate.

Run a saved report now, or schedule it and let the results arrive on their own. Both examples below are illustrative.

Report library

Every saved report, on one card.

Each card shows the report's name, its service, whether it is shared, the criteria in plain English, the output format and when it last ran with how many rows. Press Run to run it now and download it.

  • Search, edit, duplicate or delete any report
  • Private (Only me) or shared with your team
  • Run now and download in one click
Automated reports

Set the schedule once.

Schedule a saved report and it runs automatically, on the schedule you set and delivered to your team. The Activity tab records every run, so nothing happens out of sight.

  • Schedules tab for every automated report
  • Activity tab for a record of every run
  • No one has to remember to pull the numbers
Output formats

Choose the right output.

Each format suits a different job, and you can change it whenever you like.

OutputBest forOn a schedule
ExcelMost reports. Styled, with totals, ready to read or shareYes
CSVVery large extracts, or importing into another systemYes
PDFSharing or printing, for reports up to a few thousand rowsYes
Declaration documentsA ZIP containing the PDF of every declaration that matches your criteriaOn demand only

Frequently Asked Questions

Reporting questions, answered.

Which services can I report on?

The report builder covers CDS Import, CDS Export, ENS, ICS2, NCTS Departures, NCTS Arrivals and GVMS Movements. You choose the service in the first step, and the columns and criteria then match that service.

Do I need to know how to build queries?

No. Describe the report in plain English, for example "submitted in the last 7 days that were rejected", and AI sets the criteria for you. You can also start from a common report. The criteria always read back as a sentence you can check.

Can I share reports with my team?

Yes. Reports are private to you (Only me) until you choose to share them with your team. You can search, edit, duplicate and delete saved reports from your library.

Can reports run automatically?

Yes. Any saved report can be scheduled from the Schedules tab and runs on the schedule you set, delivered to your team. Every run is recorded in the Activity tab, so you can see what ran and when.

Which formats can I choose?

Excel is best for most reports, styled and with totals. CSV suits very large extracts or importing into another system. PDF suits sharing or printing and is capped at a few thousand rows.

Can I get duty and VAT figures for finance?

Yes. The dashboards show customs duty paid and import VAT accounted for through postponed VAT accounting, by month. A duty and VAT by month report is ready to match to the postponed VAT statement, and you can build duties paid reports for any date range.

Can I download the declaration PDFs?

Yes. Download a ZIP containing the PDF of every declaration that matches your report criteria. This is available on demand only, not on a schedule.

Can I report per client?

Yes. Filter by client reference and by importer or exporter, so agents, brokers and forwarders can report for each client from their own CDUK account.

Can I get the data into our own BI tools?

Yes. Use CSV extracts for your own tools, or connect your systems through the API and signed webhooks to bring outcomes into your own reporting.

What does it cost?

Reporting is free of charge. Filing is pay as you go, with no monthly fee and no minimum volume, and accounts are activated instantly. See pricing for the details.
