Is your import history ready for a meaningful review?
A high-value customs audit starts with access to the right records and a reason to investigate. This tool does not calculate money owed.
Four practical questions
Screening outcome
Readiness is not eligibility.
The tool simply tests whether a specialist would have enough information and commercial context to start looking. It cannot identify an overpayment, validate a tariff classification or make a legal repayment claim.
A business with extensive import records may have no overpayment. A smaller importer may have a legitimate material issue. Expert review should also flag possible underpayments and open HMRC matters.
Already have declarations? Use the CDS audit workbook to document a specific discrepancy. Otherwise, learn how to obtain your records and review the appropriate repayment route and deadline before applying.
When you have a documented question, see the initial review criteria.
