      How customs declarations work with CAS

      Customs 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 of our customs declaration software, CAS, provides zero-touch, end-to-end automation for filing customs 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 using a customs software to gain access to the data you need to strategically manage international trade? 

      CAS now also supports excise management, keeping track of self-assessed duties automatically and managing Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) movements and reporting as well as tax/excise warehouse.

      We help you prepare for CBAM reporting

      With the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements, companies have to report the embedded emissions of imported goods on a quarterly basis. This includes declaring direct and indirect emissions as well as any carbon price paid abroad.
      The CBAM preparation report provides data on imports in the format required for CBAM reporting. This can be used as a starting point to fill out the missing information that needs to be gathered within your organisation or from your suppliers.

      Frequently asked questions about our customs software

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

      Can CAS handle customs declarations for multiple countries?

      CAS is a multi-country platform, managing your customs declarations and Special Procedures from multiple countries, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland in one centralised system. 

      How is CAS linked with CDS in the UK?

      CDS (Customs Declaration Service) is the customs authorities system in the UK that supports making import and export declarations when moving goods into and out of the UK. CAS is connected to CDS for automated, direct filing. 

      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 automate imports and exports 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  

      Can CAS handle UK shipments via air transport as well?

      To import or export goods via air cargo, you need to submit and receive customs documentation. To be able to use CCS-UK for your shipments using air transport, you need a CCS-UK agreement (like a badge) and customs management software like CAS that is connected to CDS and accredited to handle your customs entries.

      CCS-UK connects companies to CDS and enables customs entries, clearances, and other data messages to be exchanged between parties. Using CAS, you can easily get your air shipment sent through and released via CCS-UK.

      What happens when customs legislation changes?

      At C4T, we monitor upcoming changes in customs legislation for countries worldwide. This logic is built into CAS, to make sure your customs declarations are compliant with the most recent customs rules. Our customers rest assured knowing that their international trade is up to date with the current requirements of customs authorities, taking them through Brexit and beyond.

      How much does CAS Declarations cost?

      CAS Pricing depends on the modules required, the number of declarations and the Support Services included in your subscription. Access our pricing page for more information.
