FreighAI for forwarders in the United Kingdom
FreighAI for UK freight forwarders and customs brokers — quoting and margin control that works alongside CDS declarations and the carrier accounts you already hold.
What is specific to the United Kingdom
The parts of the job that genuinely differ here — not a translated version of the same page.
Customs Declaration Service (CDS)
CDS is HMRC's declaration platform and has been the only route since CHIEF was switched off for export declarations on 30 March 2024. Every UK broker and forwarder now files through it. FreighAI does not submit declarations — it works on the commercial side, so your CDS filing route is unaffected by anything here.
EORI and Government Gateway
CDS access runs through a Government Gateway business tax account and a GB EORI number. Because FreighAI sits above the declaration layer rather than inside it, connecting it does not touch your EORI registration or your CDS profile.
GVMS for roll-on roll-off movements
CDS connects to the Goods Vehicle Movement Service for RoRo traffic. If a meaningful share of your volume is accompanied trailer work, that operational chain stays exactly as it is — FreighAI is upstream of it, at the point where the work is priced and won.
Pricing in sterling
Quotes, margin floors and reporting run in GBP. Floors are set in the currency you actually price in, so nothing is lost to conversion at the point the decision is made.

Common questions
Does FreighAI file customs declarations in the UK?
No. Declarations go through CDS as they do today, using whatever software and broker arrangement you already have. FreighAI works on quoting, pricing and margin — the commercial side, upstream of the declaration.
Do we have to change our CDS setup to use this?
No. Your Government Gateway account, EORI and CDS profile are untouched. FreighAI connects to your email and your carrier accounts, not to your declaration route.
Can we price in sterling?
Yes. Quotes, floors and reporting all run in GBP.
Do you have UK customers we can speak to?
Not yet — and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Our published customer is Infinity Logistics in the UAE. The mechanism is the same wherever the freight moves, but if a local reference is a requirement for you, we are not there yet.
