Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP)
Online declarations and management
Community legislation makes provision for EU Member States to make available Simplified Procedures. Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP) are designed to provide greater flexibility to UK businesses engaged in third country imports by moving fiscal and statistical controls inland.
CFSP allows authorised traders to gain accelerated removal or release of most third country imports by making a simplified declaration containing the minimum of details at the frontier.
Our Online Management Solution
Our CFSP bolt-on module for GTA offers easy management of customs procedures for traders authorised by HMRC.
Manage your compliance using the shipment data you have created in GTA , the S8 (Departed) Message is the only document HMRC will accept as legal evidence your goods have left the U.K. and the shipper no longer being liable for tax, duties and dumping. Manage shipment’s customs clearance statuses individually or produce an audit report by date range.
