Manage your email address for the Customs Declaration Service

Verify or change the email address we use for your customs messages and notifications.

The Customs Declaration Service uses one email address for various customs-related services.

If you change this email address, ensure other people in your company will still get the messages they need.

We use this email address to send updates about your customs accounts, imports and exports, and messages about live declarations.

You may get some emails outside of normal business hours.

You may want to use an email address that several people or teams in your company can access. For example, a distribution list or a shared email inbox. This will help avoid delays in responding to urgent details about your declarations and requests for information.

Online services may be slow during busy times. Check if there are any problems with this service.
