As businesses begin shaping plans for 2026, many are unsure where to begin with customs. The landscape continues to evolve, costs are under pressure, and decision-makers want clarity before setting priorities for the year ahead.
The good news
You may already have the insight you need.
CDS provides a clear view of how your import and export activity is performing today, highlighting risk areas, compliance gaps and opportunities to streamline processes or reduce duty spend. With visibility comes informed decision-making, and data quickly replaces guesswork when setting objectives.
And if you don’t currently receive CDS reports?
Even better news, you can now access them for free via the GOV.UK self-serve tool (those currently paying for reporting could even reduce costs by switching early)
Turn your data into a clear 2026 plan! Bethan Customs Consultancy can support organisations to retrieve, review and interpret CDS data, helping turn insight into a clear and confident customs plan for 2026.
