      How it works

      Declaration filing is a time-critical process in the supply chain that is notorious for its complexity.  Because of differing rules, regulations, data structures, and communication protocols—even within a single customs jurisdiction like the EU—the task is often either outsourced to third parties, handled manually, or managed by disconnected local solutions. All of these alternatives are time-consuming, error-prone, and subject to high administrative costs.

       

      The CAS Declarations module provides zero-touch, end-to-end automation for filing declarations, accelerating import/export time, ensuring compliance, and consolidating global customs management into one single system. Don’t you think it’s time to bring your customs operations in-house and gain access to the data you need to strategically manage international trade?

      Frequently asked questions

      Do you have more questions about automating your declaration filing? Here are answers to the most common inquiries we get. 

      What data can be prefilled by using integrations and what manual intervention is needed to complete an import or export filing?  

      CAS is designed to avoid manual intervention as much as possible. The declaration process is monitored based on exception management, where you only need to intervene in exceptional cases.  All master data types, e.g., commodity codes, additional codes, customs authorisations, and references, are pre-filled. For configurable data elements, you can opt to configure them in CAS or send them transactionally.      

      How does CAS handle declarations for countries where direct filing is not yet an option?

      In addition to direct filing to customs authorities, CAS offers broker management functionality. This allows you to provide declaration information to CAS that is then validated and sent to your customs broker(s) to complete the last-mile filing tasks. This broker management functionality makes CAS the only customs platform you need, taking care of your customs formalities by either filing them directly with the respective customs authority or by providing the information to a customs broker who will finalise the filing process.​

      How does CAS automate import/export filing? Will the platform suggest a customs procedure for a certain flow? 

      CAS supports inbound or outbound shipment data for direct filing with customs authorities. CAS will automatically decide the sequence of customs declaration procedure(s) applicable to the shipment that has to be processed.  This decision process is configurable with different parameters and is capable of coping with a wide variety of customs declaration procedures in different countries. Upon ingestion of the shipment data, CAS will automatically enrich this transaction with data from configurable decision tables as well as master data. This allows you to reduce the transactionally required data elements. It also alleviates the need to build customs logic into your WMS or ERP system. All customs logic is built into CAS.    

      How do I calculate my declaration volume?

      The following transactions are considered declaration items and are used to calculate your volume of declarations, which determines the license subscription fee for the Declarations and Special Procedures modules in CAS.

      • NCTS arrival notification  

      • NCTS outbound declaration  

      • EIDR declarations

      • Transactional import or export declaration   

      • Supplementary declaration (export, import)  

      • Port Community notification - inbound  

      • Port Community notification - outbound
