CDS: Getting Declarations Right First Time – What Traders Need to Provide

Friday 13th march | 10.00

This webinar will help you build a solid understanding of the mandatory data sets and commercial documentation needed for compliant customs declarations. We’ll highlight frequent errors that can lead to border delays or post‑clearance issues, and explain how getting it right first time can improve clearance times and reduce risk.

You’ll gain insight into what customs agents actually need from traders, why specific data fields are critical from a compliance perspective, and how incomplete or inconsistent information can trigger delays or HMRC intervention. The session will also cover best practice for commercial invoices and supporting documents, and clearly outline the division of responsibilities between traders and agents to support accurate, compliant submissions.
