Actual platform interface — live HMRC data, real-time compliance scoring
HMRC has up to 4 years to query any import declaration. Most businesses manage their customs compliance in spreadsheets — with no structured evidence trail, no reconciliation against CDS, and no record of what was instructed to their agent versus what was actually declared.

HMRC's free Trade Reporting & Extracting service replaces paid CDS contracts from April 2026. Raw CSV data alone tells you nothing. HC Customs turns it into identified overpayments, C285 claims, and an audit-ready compliance pack — in minutes.
Log in to HMRC's TRE service with your Government Gateway + EORI. Request your full import history — it arrives as a CSV within 48 hours.
Drop your TRE CSV into the import tool. We automatically detect column formats — no reformatting or mapping required.
We scan every declaration for anomalies, missed preferences, and C285 opportunities — surfacing the duty you can claim back across your full history.
Every imported declaration gets an HMRC-aligned retention record and audit readiness score — with a one-click PDF evidence pack.

Clearance Instructions
A CCI records exactly what you told your agent: incoterm, customs value, commodity code, procedure. After the MRN comes back, the platform automatically checks whether the declaration matches and flags any discrepancy — creating an instant audit trail.
