Clear Customs Faster and Stay Audit-Ready with CargoWise Customs Integration
Integrate CargoWise with any customs portal you clear through, ASM Sequoia, ICEGATE, Portnet, ASYCUDA, CDS, AES, SISCOMEX, VUCEM, ICS2, SARS, NZCS, and more, for automated declarations and real-time clearance status.
Different Customs Portals. Seamless Integration. No Repeated Entry.
CargoWise and the customs authority you're clearing through share declaration data automatically via API/eAdaptor Next. File a shipment once in CargoWise, and it reaches the relevant customs portal without a separate submission, wherever in the world that portal sits.

The CargoWise Customs Integration Process We Follow
A structured, low-risk method that delivers a monitored, live customs connection to any portal, typically in 4–8 weeks.
01
Discovery & Analysis
We analyse your CargoWise setup and the target customs portal, identify the declaration data points involved, and confirm which fields that authority requires, whether it's ICEGATE, CDS, SARS, or a portal not yet on our list.
02
Data Mapping
We map shipment, consignment, and declaration fields to the customs portal's expected format, with transformation and validation rules built in for each data type.
03
Build & Configure
We develop the API connections, configure both CargoWise and the customs portal, and build in error handling and submission monitoring as needed.
04
Testing for Compliance
We run thorough tests against real declaration scenarios with your operations and compliance teams to confirm submissions meet regulatory requirements before go-live.
05
Go-Live & Hypercare
Controlled cut-over with close monitoring through your first cycle of live customs submissions, catching issues before they affect clearance.
06
Monitor, Support & Train
Ongoing monitoring of submission status and rejections, exception handling, and team training to keep the integration running smoothly as regulations evolve, including portal migrations like ICS2's phased rollout.
Six Ways We Wire CargoWise Into Any Customs Portal
We choose the right mechanism based on the portal, filing volume, and how fast the customs authority needs to see it.
01
eAdaptor Next Messaging
CargoWise's native middleware for real-time, two-way XML message exchange, the backbone of most customs declaration integrations we deliver.
02
REST & SOAP APIs
Direct API connectivity to customs portals like ICEGATE, CDS, and VUCEM for live declaration submission and status retrieval.
03
Custom Middleware
A managed integration layer that transforms, routes, and validates data between CargoWise and complex or legacy customs systems.
04
File / EDI Exchange
Structured file and EDI exchange where a customs portal doesn't expose a live API, mapped to its required declaration format.
05
Scheduled Batch Sync
Periodic submission for high-volume filing cycles that don't require instant, per-shipment transmission at all.
06
Real-Time Event Triggers
Event-driven filing the moment a shipment is ready for declaration, so customs always has current data without a manual push.
Customs Portals We Integrate with CargoWise

Frequently Asked Questions
Happy to Assist You with Anything
We connect CargoWise with any customs portal your business clears through, including ICEGATE, ACE, AMS, AES, CDS, CHIEF, AGS, ICS2, ASM Sequoia, Portnet, ASYCUDA, SARS, SISCOMEX, VUCEM, NZCS, and NES, with the same framework extending to portals not listed here as well.
The underlying approach is the same, API-based connectivity with field mapping and validation, but ICEGATE has its own data schema and filing rules specific to Indian customs, including HS code and duty structure requirements, so configuration is built around those specifics as required.
Yes. Many of our clients need several, ICEGATE for India, CDS for the UK, and VUCEM for Mexico, for example, all connected under a single integration engagement rather than treated as separate projects.
We build the integration around wherever your filings need to go right now, and manage the transition alongside you, CHIEF filings shift to CDS, and ICS filings shift to ICS2, without a gap in submission capability.
We use the same integration framework to connect to any customs portal. Some government authorities require formal approval or accreditation before a system can be integrated, so where that applies, we handle the authorization process with the relevant authority first, then proceed with building the integration once approval is in place.
