FAQ

Is FreightSnap a customs filing system?
No. It’s the layer BEFORE filing — the decision intelligence on the cheapest compliant route + cashflow before you commit. Pair it with a CDS filing system (your broker or in-house) for the actual submission.
Does it give me customs advice?
No. FreightSnap is decision support, not customs advice. The operator stays accountable for the declaration. For regulated advice, speak to your customs broker or HMRC.
Is UKIMS the same as not-at-risk?
Related but not identical. UKIMS is the authorisation scheme operators apply for; not-at-risk is the status a movement can have under the Windsor Framework. UKIMS makes claiming not-at-risk easier. The NI-route calculator walks both.
Decision support, not customs advice. Operator stays accountable for the declaration.
