Customs Declarations UK is a cloud platform for filing Great Britain import and export declarations directly with HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service. It supports GB CDS imports and exports, GB ENS, EU ICS2 entry summary declarations, and NCTS6 T1/T2 transit movements. Guided filing wizards adapt to shipment requirements, while real-time validation flags inconsistencies before submission. Its document-processing system uses OCR and AI to read invoices, packing lists, and transport documents, then drafts supported declarations for human review. API connections can link it with TMS, ERP, and freight software for document intake and drafting. The platform also integrates with CSPs MCP, CNS, and CCS-UK and includes GVMS management. The company offers onboarding, training, and assistance with complex customs scenarios. Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee, although onboarding charges may apply; subscriptions require at least six months’ notice to cancel. Filing prices vary: EU ICS2 is £4 per declaration, GB CDS is £25, and NCTS6 departures are £15. NCTS6 filings require the customer’s own transit guarantee.
