Customs Declarations UK vs Customs Window

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.

Customs Window provides customs declarations and compliance services for imports and exports across multiple jurisdictions. Its listed coverage includes Irish AIS and AES, UK CDS, Netherlands DECO and DMS, Swedish e-commerce imports, and EU ICS2 across all member states. Declarations can be uploaded in bulk through Excel, CSV, or API data, with EU TARIC rules applied automatically. The company's AI tools are described as auditing declarations and guiding users through steps. Reports support financial, operational, and regulatory analysis, including finding errors ahead of customs audits. Listed integrations include Shopify, marketplaces, platforms, and ERP systems; APIs handle transfers, notifications, uploads, and declaration actions from a customer's platform. The mobile app provides declaration updates, automatic PBN creation, and import/export rule checks for drivers and warehouse staff. A digital payment facility collects customs duties and taxes, and the site says it supports BTC export/import processes. Pricing is on request for a monthly subscription with unlimited users. Intended customers include enterprises, e-commerce businesses, customs agents, SMEs, and logistics facilitators.
