Declarations Management

Changes in legal requirements have significantly increased the number of declarations that need to be filed. Let C4T manage them for you.

A smarter way to deal with increased workload

The advent of Brexit and new declaration requirements have substantially increased the number of declarations that need to be filed by traders, putting a strain on organisations that do not have a customs system in place. While CAS automates the filing of declarations, other manual tasks, for example correcting declarations errors, reporting for Special Procedures, tariff classification and customs valuations, and tariff measures determination, can be assumed by C4T’s Managed Customs Services (MCS) team.
