tradePhlo

Move the goods across borders.

tradePhlo reads the commercial invoice and packing list, fills the declaration, checks the commodity code and duty, and files directly with HMRC. For customs brokers, freight forwarders and the importers and exporters who clear their own goods.

One trade drawn from contract to cash: the container moves from the desk to the ship, the warehouse, the invoice and the bank, while the hedge, the facility and the books post above it.

What you get

Classify, declare, recover. One partner for the border.

Most teams juggle a tariff lookup, a filing system, a stack of PDFs and a spreadsheet. tradePhlo brings the classification, the declaration and the audit of what you paid into one platform, with one team to call.

Declarations

UK CDS import and export declarations and NCTS transit, filed directly with HMRC. The invoice, packing list and previous declaration do most of the typing; your team reviews and submits.

Live

Intelligence

AI commodity-code classification, duty and preferential rates, rules of origin and sanctions screening across more than 50 countries. Know the landed cost before you commit to the trade.

Live

Duty Recovery

Find duty you should not have paid. The free US scan covers IEEPA refunds and missed FTA preferences today; UK audits are scoped with you. Filing-ready packets for your broker.

How it works

From commercial invoice to cleared goods

01

Classify

Describe the goods in plain words. tradePhlo suggests the commodity code with the duty rate, any preferential rate your origin qualifies for, and a sanctions check, so the landed cost is known before the goods ship.

Explore Intelligence
02

Declare

Upload the commercial invoice and packing list. tradePhlo extracts the fields and builds the UK CDS or NCTS transit declaration. Your team checks it, submits it to HMRC and follows the status on the same screen.

03

Recover

Upload your entry history. The audit flags IEEPA duty you can claim back and free-trade preferences that were never claimed, and produces filing-ready packets your broker can submit. Classification and valuation checks are in development. Duty Recovery is in preview.

Why teams switch

Run it without an implementation project

Enterprise customs suites are built for the largest forwarders and priced that way. tradePhlo is what a broker, a forwarder or an importer's own team can set up and run, with classification, clearance and duty recovery on one cloud platform.

  • Start from the previous declaration instead of a blank form
  • Fields read from your documents, not re-keyed from PDFs
  • Flat monthly subscription, no per-declaration fees
  • Brokers file more with the same team; nobody is replaced

Who it is for

Built for the people who move goods

Brokers, forwarders and traders file through tradePhlo. Brokers keep their clients.

Customs brokers

Process more declarations with the same team. Fields come off your clients' documents instead of being re-keyed, your staff review and submit, and duty recovery becomes a service you can offer your book.

Freight forwarders

Run clearance alongside the logistics you already manage. Keep the customer relationship in-house and show clients where their clearance stands without chasing anyone.

Importers and exporters

See and control your own declarations. Classify your goods, file directly or alongside your broker, and audit your history for overpaid duty. Your broker can file through tradePhlo too.

Built for compliance

Filed directly with HMRC, not through a workaround

HMRC CDS and NCTS
