In the current phase of the initiative, online completion of a declaration does not replace the existing requirement to present the hard copy declaration and supporting documents to Customs in person. Formal submission occurs only when physical documents and payment are received by Customs. Declarations may be edited until that time, after which the declaration is locked and online editing is disabled. As this initiative continues, the process is expected to evolve as feedback is gathered, operational needs are better understood, and additional capabilities are introduced.

Important note about the current phase

Begin by signing in, creating an account, or continuing as a guest, depending on what works best for you.

Start your declaration

Select the type of shipment or entry you are preparing and complete the required filing information.

Choose your entry type and provide details

Attach invoices and other supporting documents required for your filing, depending on the type of entry being submitted.

Upload supporting documents

Once your declaration is complete, it may be visible to Customs in the system during this phase of the initiative, but it is not considered formally submitted until the hard copy declaration and supporting documents are physically received by Customs, consistent with the current process. Declarations may be edited up until that time. Once those materials are received, the declaration is locked and further editing is disabled.

Present your declaration to Customs

Once Customs has physically received the hard copy declaration and supporting documents, you can follow your filing online, view its progress through review, and see any next actions needed as the process moves toward clearance.
