Connect your UK customs data to MyCustomsInfo®

See exactly what your business declared through HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service. Spot overpaid duty, check the work of your declarants and stay ready for an audit. Three ways to connect your CDS data. Choose the one that fits how you work.

Your data, in any form

You do not wait for one system. We take your declaration data however it exists today, and we grade what we find by where it came from.

Automated
A scheduled pull from HMRC once you grant us permission, or a live API feed.
Manual
Reports you download from HMRC and upload to us. No integration needed.
PDF copies
We read PDF copy declarations, so entries with no portal access are still a starting point.

Three ways to connect

Every route uses your own declaration data held in HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service under your EORI.

Option 1

Upload your CDS reports

Best for a first look and a one-off recovery scan

The quickest start. You sign in to HMRC, download your four declaration reports, and upload the CSV files to us. Anyone can do this on day one.

What you need
  • Your UK EORI number
  • A Government Gateway login
  • Access to HMRC’s Get customs data service
RecommendedOption 2

Grant us permission to pull your data

Best for ongoing, hands-off monitoring

You grant MyCustomsInfo® third-party permission once inside the HMRC service. After that we fetch your reports every month, including what your brokers filed in your name. You see the results, they keep filing.

What you need
  • Your UK EORI number
  • A Government Gateway login
  • To grant us third-party permission in the HMRC service
Option 3

Connect via the live API

Best for self-filers wanting near real-time reconciliation

A direct connection from HMRC into the platform, near real time. You authorise MyCustomsInfo® through the Government Gateway and we pull declarations as they clear. Best suited to businesses that file their own declarations.

What you need
  • Your UK EORI number
  • A Government Gateway login
  • A short conversation with us to set it up
