Customs declaration software
Automate your declaration filing, reducing shipment lead time from hours to minutes. The Declarations Module of our customs declaration software supports multiple declaration types in multiple countries for import, export, and transit.
How CAS Declarations work
Declaration filing is a time-critical process in the supply chain that is notorious for its complexity. Because of differing rules, regulations, data structures, and communication protocols—even within a single customs jurisdiction like the EU—the task is often either outsourced to third parties, handled manually, or managed by disconnected local solutions. All of these alternatives are time-consuming, error-prone, and subject to high administrative costs.
The CAS Declarations module of our customs declaration filing solution, CAS, provides zero-touch, end-to-end automation for filing declarations, accelerating import/export time, ensuring compliance, and consolidating global customs management into one single system. Don’t you think it’s time to bring your customs operations in-house using a customs software to gain access to the data you need to strategically manage international trade?
CAS now also supports excise management, keeping track of self-assessed duties automatically and managing EMCS movements and reporting as well as tax/excise warehouse.
Recognised for our exceptional export results by the Belgian Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs, Reynaers has a history of being at the cutting edge when it comes to exports. The automation capabilities afforded by CAS keep us at the top of our game, allowing for zero-touch declarations.

Ease of Integration
Part of managing your customs operations includes connecting your WMS or ERP system to your customs declaration software. There are three ways to connect with CAS. You can either automate integration using intuitive Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), upload data using Excel files, or add data manually in the CAS User Interface using our manual declarations functionality.
Quicker Customs Clearance
CAS not only automates the creation and submission of customs declarations, our one-of-a-kind single message, double filing feature handles all the declarations you need for a shipment in one go. With one single message, CAS simultaneously files an export declaration in the country of departure and an import declaration in the country of destination, combined with transit to ensure frictionless border crossing.

We help you prepare for CBAM reporting
With the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requirements, companies have to report the embedded emissions of imported goods on a quarterly basis. This includes declaring direct and indirect emissions as well as any carbon price paid abroad.
The CBAM preparation report provides data on imports in the format required for CBAM reporting. This can be used as a starting point to fill out the missing information that needs to be gathered within your organisation or from your suppliers.
Frequently asked questions about our customs software
Do you have more questions about automating your declaration filing? Here are answers to the most common inquiries we get.
CAS is designed to avoid manual intervention as much as possible. The declaration process is monitored based on exception management, where you only need to intervene in exceptional cases. All master data types, e.g., commodity codes, additional codes, customs authorisations, and references, are pre-filled. For configurable data elements, you can opt to configure them in CAS or send them transactionally.
CAS supports inbound or outbound shipment data for direct filing with customs authorities. CAS will automatically decide the sequence of customs declaration procedure(s) applicable to the shipment that has to be processed. This decision process is configurable with different parameters and is capable of coping with a wide variety of customs declaration procedures in different countries. Upon ingestion of the shipment data, CAS will automatically enrich this transaction with data from configurable decision tables as well as master data. This allows you to reduce the transactionally required data elements. It also alleviates the need to build customs logic into your WMS or ERP system. All customs logic is built into CAS.
The following transactions are considered declaration items and are used to calculate your volume of declarations, which determines the license subscription fee for the Declarations and Special Procedures modules in CAS.

To import or export goods via air cargo, you need to submit and receive customs documentation. To be able to use CCS-UK for your shipments using air transport, you need a CCS-UK agreement (like a badge) and customs management software like CAS that is connected to CDS and accredited to handle your customs entries.
CCS-UK connects companies to CDS and enables customs entries, clearances, and other data messages to be exchanged between parties. Using CAS, you can easily get your air shipment sent through and released via CCS-UK.
