The Customs Declarations UK platform handles the full spectrum of CDS declarations for goods moving in and out of Great Britain — standard imports and exports as well as special procedures, all fully aligned with HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service.
Built for freight forwarders, hauliers, customs brokers, importers and exporters, it combines guided wizards, real-time validation and AI document processing so you can file accurately in minutes — in-house, with no third party and no specialist customs background required. And for RoRo / GVMS movements, no port badge is needed to file your import or export declarations.
Everything you need to file CDS, in one platform.
From a first-time entry to thousands of declarations a month, the platform automates the heavy lifting and keeps every submission compliant with HMRC.
Guided Workflows
A dynamic, adaptive platform with step-by-step wizards that guide you through every import and export declaration — tailored to your consignment’s requirements.
Intuitive Error Handling
Smart validation flags inconsistencies before submission, cutting rejections and rework. 99% of declarations are accepted on the first attempt.
Bulk Upload & Cloning
Clone existing declarations — even between import and export types — or upload in bulk via CSV/Excel. Ideal for high-volume freight operations.
Document Uploads
Attach invoices, packing lists, certificates and any supporting documents directly to the relevant entries, all kept together against each declaration.
Amendment & Cancellation
Submit post-acceptance amendments and cancellations directly through the platform — no need to start again or go through a third party.
Complex Customs Procedures
Full support for all declaration types, including special procedures — customs warehousing, inward processing, temporary admission and more.
Direct Integration with HMRC & CSPs
A single platform connecting seamlessly with HMRC and the major Community System Providers — MCP, CNS and CCS-UK — for inventory-linked port clearances.
AI Document Processing
Upload documents in any format and let the AI extract the contents and populate your declaration instantly — turning paperwork into a ready-to-file entry.
Real-Time Notifications
Instant status alerts straight from HMRC — acceptance, queries and release updates — so you always know exactly where each declaration stands.
Smart Commodity Mapping
Create CDS import and export declarations with smart commodity settings and automated mapping of the required commodity data, documents and controls.
One platform for both directions of trade.
Whether goods are arriving into Great Britain or leaving it, you file the same way — directly to CDS, with the platform shaping each declaration around the procedure you need.
