The problem

Customs rules changed — and they don't forgive a wrong code.

HMRC withdrew the universal export waiver in 2025. Now every commodity needs its own specific control and waiver codes, checked against the current tariff — and a single wrong code means a rejected declaration. Codes are easy to get wrong and hard to verify by hand, especially across a full catalogue. Declara closes that gap before the shipment moves.

of the codes in one real export file couldn't be filed as written.
What it does

From a list of dubious codes to a filing-ready set.

Validate against live HMRC data

Every commodity code is checked against the official UK Trade Tariff in real time — so unfilable codes surface here, not as a customs rejection later.

Surface every control, sourced

Waivers and licences are pulled live from the tariff for each code and destination. Every row links back to the official page. No guessing, no static lists.

Reclassify in the room

When a code is wrong, find the right one together. The tool shows the candidate classifications; the customer confirms which describes their goods. It never picks for them.

Capture confirmations as evidence

Every answer is dated and recorded — the basis for what gets filed. Export a customer leave-behind and a dated operator evidence record in a click.

Why it's trustworthy

Sourced, not guessed.

Everything comes live from HMRC's own published tariff — the same data behind the official gov.uk site. Every result is traceable to its tariff page, and the tool is surface-and-confirm by design: it never auto-picks a code. The opposite of an AI that guesses and hopes.

Two workflows, proven in the field.

Used by logistics ops teams and account executives in real client situations.

And from 1 July, there's a new compliance requirement your customers need to know about.

New · for 1 July 2026

EU parcel duty, estimated before it lands.

From 1 July 2026, the EU applies a €3 customs duty per item on low-value parcels under €150. Declara's duty estimator turns an order file into a per-parcel estimate — sourced from the regulation and the live HMRC exchange rate, with the same surface-and-confirm discipline as screening.

Commodity-code and destination screening against UK export controls. End-use, end-user, and denied-party checks are out of scope.

Know the codes are right — before anything ships.
