CustomsClear support

General

Our software is recommended for any business that imports or exports goods between the UK* and the EU using road transport.

*Not currently supporting traders moving goods in/out of Northern Ireland

We currently only support the movement of goods by road transport. We plan to extend our software to include containerised sea freight and air freight in the future.

We’ve digitised the declaration process so small-to-medium businesses can make declarations independent of customs intermediaries, directly to HMRC

  1. Understand what information you need to make a declaration.
  2. Create your declaration with our simple and intuitive user interface.
  3. Submit your declaration right to HMRC – because CustomsClear is integrated with Customs Declaration Service (CDS), your declaration is sent directly to HMRC.
  4. Manage your declaration – get real-time feedback from HMRC. If you need to amend your declaration or provide more information, our software is designed to help you upload any requested information directly.
  5. Track the progress of your declaration from start to finish.

No, the software is totally online – there’s no need to download anything, simply access the software directly from your web browser.
