Community Service Provider (CSP)

Community System Providers (CSPs) are commercial companies that act as intermediaries between HMRC’s frontier and customs systems. They support the electronic management of customs inventory and declarations across UK ports, airports, and inland temporary storage locations.

 

CSPs help maintain the smooth movement of goods by providing the digital link between traders and HMRC. Their systems enable faster clearance, accurate inventory control, and improved compliance with customs formalities across all modes of transport.
