Get customs data for import and export declarations
Use this service to get reports based on your Customs Declaration Service import and export data.
What the customs data report service is for
You can use this service to get customs data reports from HMRC. These reports are based on your import and export data from the Customs Declaration Service.
These reports can help you:
- check your customs declarations are accurate
- support audits or investigations
- review declarations submitted on your behalf
- monitor your import and export activity over time
Who can use the service
You can use this service if you’re:
- an importer or exporter
- a declarant, like a customs agent who submits declarations on behalf of someone else
- a third party acting on behalf of an importer or exporter, like a consultancy firm or accountant
If you’re an importer or exporter and you want a third party to get reports on your behalf, you need to give them access. You can do this within the service.
What you’ll need
To use the service you’ll need to:
- be subscribed to the Customs Declaration Service
- have an EORI number
- sign in using the individual or organisation Government Gateway user ID that is linked to your EORI number
If you have more than one EORI number, you’ll need a different user ID for each EORI number.
Reports you can get
You can get 4 types of report. This table gives a basic overview and example of each one. The example reports are for information only and do not represent any real data.
| Type of report | Information included in the report | Example of the report |
|---|---|---|

You can find out more about what’s in each report.
Data you can get reports about
You can get reports about EORI numbers starting in GB or XI. If you ask for a report for an EORI number starting in GB, you’ll automatically get the data for the linked EORI number starting in XI.
You can get up to 31 consecutive days of data in each report. This can start from any date within 4 years from the current date. Data from the past 2 days is not available.
For example, if today’s date is 13 February 2026, data will be available from 13 February 2022 to 10 February 2026.
The data you declare will only appear in reports once we have processed it. It may take longer for us to process some data.
If you’re an importer or exporter
You can get reports for the EORI number linked to the Government Gateway user ID you use to sign in.
To get reports for multiple EORI numbers from a single user ID, you can give third party access to one of your user IDs from all the others.
If you’re a declarant
You can get reports for the EORI number linked to the Government Gateway user ID you use to sign in. The EORI number must be listed as the declarant.
You’ll only be able to see data for items you have declared using the service.
If you’re a third party
You can get reports about EORI numbers that you’ve been given access to by the importer or exporter.
You cannot get reports where the EORI number is only listed as the declarant.
You can get reports about more than one EORI number using a single Government Gateway user ID. You’ll get a separate report for each EORI number.
Get a report
Each EORI number is linked to a single Government Gateway user ID. Sign in using the user ID that is linked to your EORI number.
You cannot use an agent Government Gateway user ID to sign into this service.
