Find out how to request and buy CDS data from HMRC if you are an importer

5 Jan 2023

Customs Declaration Service data helps simplify and improve the accuracy of your records required for an HMRC customs audit. For example, by giving accurate figures for the total amount of duty paid against value of goods entered.

It is possible to request and purchase data from HMRC and there has been a slight change made to the availability of this data.

The earliest period that HMRC can provide a report for historical data before the date of sign up has been changed from June 2022 to January 2022.
