Customs Declarations: Creation and Submission to AIS and AES
Our customs declaration software supports a range of data entry options, so that our solutions can blend seamlessly with your current operations and protocols.
Our Excel upload options are used by companies that may not have all their customs data in one system, but do have their customs data available in Excel spreadsheets.
These spreadsheet upload options allow data to be added, and automatically generated into one or more customs declarations. Bulk update of transport information is available for uploaded declarations, which can then be easily submitted to Irish Revenue, individually or in bulk.
The XML API option is used by companies who have existing systems that record their customs data. This API provides a 1-way or 2-way data exchange:
- Customer system sends data to the Thyme-IT system
- Thyme-IT system returns data to the Customer system
The data is validated upon upload to the Thyme-IT system and responses can be provided back to the customer’s system for correction and resubmission, or data can be corrected in the Thyme-IT system.
The declaration can be automatically submitted to Irish Revenue if all data is included in the message, or additional data can be entered prior to submission if required.
The XML API can determine if a H1 or H7 declaration is required based on Irish Revenue rules.
Data Sharing
Thyme-IT provides a number of data sharing options, allowing Thyme-IT customers to share data with their trading partners.
- Thyme-IT solutions allow for data to be shared between systems and also provides data extracts in Excel, PDF and other file formats.
- Data extracts, reports and printed declarations can be shared via e-mail and other communication protocols on receipt of routings and other responses from Irish Revenue.
- Data extracts can also be provided on a scheduled basis. The scheduled output can include data for an agreed period of time based on trading partner requirements.
Use the Thyme-IT software solutions to communicate clearly with transport and trading partners, provide up-to-date customs information, and automatically share customs documentation.
