Click, click, clear using CABIE
It takes minutes to release a GB import with CABIE and, because we are approved to use aggregation, we can even reduce the number of declarations required after the event.

Frequently asked questions...
Q. Why CABIE, where did the name come from?
CABIE is an acronym for Customs and Borders Import Export. But it is more than that! We often liken our customs experience with 'the knowledge' more commonly associated with London black cabs. Knowing the fastest and quickest route (no matter what the conditions) is what sets us apart. You concentrate on the destination, let CABIE take care of the journey!
Q. Is it really just nine clicks?
Absolutely! For non-controlled GB imports the process is super simple and requires no customs knowledge on your part. CABIE asks a few qualifying questions, the invoice is uploaded and you are good to go. You can authorise your supplier, agent or logistics partner to upload documents on your behalf if you prefer.

Q. Is £1 per pallet* really possible or just a gimmick?
Because CABIE detaches the customs import entry from the truck movement we can submit fewer declarations. We are authorised to aggregate to one declaration per 10 day period for regular and repetitive flows. So, yes, the charge of £1 per pallet is not unusual. We can aggregate per day or per 10 day block, whatever suits your business best.
Q. Can my supplier or logistics provider complete CABIE on my behalf?
The short answer is YES. The importer can create authorised users on their CABIE account and allow them to act on their behalf. For example a CABIE registered importer will create a logon for their freight forwarder. The freight mover will complete CABIE on behalf of the importer and EORI will take care of the final declaration based on the information received.
Q. Do we need training?
There are self-serve customs software packages in the market today. CABIE is different - it is a fast-track portal supported by years of customs experience and the top tier approvals for frictionless border movements. You do not need any customs knowledge (or training) to operate CABIE, just answer a few questions, upload your invoice(s) and leave us to do what we do best!
Q. Is there a white label version?
CABIE has been built to support white labelling on a 'plug-and-play' basis. We can brand CABIE in your name whilst still supporting the process fully in the background. Even though your branding is used, it will be our approvals and 24hour customs support that keeps things flowing smoothly. To download the presentation pack for white label click HERE.
Q. Is there an API option?
Our focus has always been data. We already have data exchange processes including API, XML and CSV and are at the forefront of data integration. EORI were one of the first to use robotics in customs processing and still do today, mostly to bridge any destination API gaps, such as IPAFFS.
