This map shows a selection of key locations rather than our complete coverage. Contact us with your port or terminal and we’ll confirm the clearance options available.

CNS Port Access

CNS is used at a number of major UK freight locations and connects customs, cargo and port processes.

Through CNS access, we can support inventory-linked customs movements at applicable locations and help ensure declarations are correctly processed against the shipment and terminal being used.

Destin8 Port Access

Destin8 links customs and cargo information across port communities throughout the UK.

Our Destin8 capability enables us to support import, export and transit clearance requirements at applicable Destin8 locations, helping customers move goods through the correct customs process efficiently.

PORT COMMUNITY SYSTEM ACCESS

Connected to the Systems That Keep UK Freight Moving

Many UK ports operate inventory-linked systems that connect customs declarations with the cargo moving through the port.

Instant Clearances works with key port community systems including CNS and Destin8, allowing us to support customs clearance requirements at a wide range of UK terminals.

This helps us process the correct customs information for the location being used and reduces the risk of unnecessary delays caused by incorrect declarations, location details or port procedures.

CNS describes its platform as connecting clearing agents with cargo and regulatory processes at CNS locations, while Destin8 operates as a port community system across a large number of UK ports and terminals.
