Turn Your HMRC TRE Data Into Commercial
Intelligence
HMRC's Trade Reporting and Extracting (TRE) service became the sole route to your MSS/CDS declaration data from 31 March 2026 — replacing costly third-party report contracts. We connect directly to TRE via Government Gateway and transform your raw declaration data into duty recovery insights, compliance scoring, and full financial visibility.
Automated Ingestion
Forward your secure CSVs directly to your workspace. Our engine handles the heavy lifting of parsing, deduplication, and organizing your trade history.
Instant Reclaims
Stop leaving money on the table. We automatically identify shipments where you paid full duty but were eligible for 0% preference codes.
Overpayment Detection
Every TRE record is automatically scanned against current tariff rates and trade agreements — flagging exactly where you paid more duty than required and how much you can reclaim.
