DutyDeclared is a cloud-based platform for preparing, validating, managing and submitting UK customs import declarations to HMRC through the CDS API. It extracts structured information from invoices, packing lists, export declarations and transport documents to populate declaration fields. Its Quick Editor lets users review uncertainties and edit HS codes or VAT, with totals syncing automatically. Validation checks fields against current trade regulations and flags risks related to UK/EU compliance, origin, value and documents.

Users can submit declarations to HMRC CDS, receive status notifications, track submissions, maintain audit trails and make amendments. AI assists with document extraction and HS commodity code classification, but users must review and verify its suggestions. The platform integrates with HMRC CDS through the official API using OAuth 2.0 and offers API access for third-party integrations. The free tier advertises 10 entries each month. Starter costs £250 a month and offers a 14-day trial; Professional costs £850 a month. Enterprise pricing is custom. The platform is aimed at importers, exporters, customs brokers, freight forwarders and trade teams.
