Your declaration will be sent securely to HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service (CDS). Then, CustomsClear lets you know in real-time whether your declaration is accepted or if HMRC need more information.
Your dashboard lets you view and manage all your declarations in one easy place. Once submitted, you’ll be able to see where your declarations are in the process.
Direct integration with CDS means you receive HMRC feedback and notifications right from your CustomsClear dashboard. That way, you’ll know if your goods are selected for inspection, or if you need to provide additional information.
