Custran review
Affordable filing software with practical workflows for Irish and UK customs operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Custran is cloud-based software for preparing and submitting customs declarations and creating transport documentation. It is designed for importers, exporters, traders, customs agents, hauliers and freight forwarders handling Irish or UK workflows. Supported processes include import, export, entry summary declarations and transit, with direct connections to Ireland’s Revenue Online Service and UK customs systems. The platform is available through web and API access, and the vendor is Freight Station Limited.
Pricing is structured by region and usage. In Ireland, the monthly licence costs €40 per month and covers the fixed licence, connection and platform fee, with a direct Revenue Online Service connection. Declaration packages cost €100 for 10 declarations, €700 for 100, €2,500 for 500, and €7,000 for 2,000 declarations. The Ireland 10,000+ declarations tier offers enterprise solutions. In the UK, the monthly licence costs £40 per month, while the listed 10-declaration package costs £120. Monthly licences are separate from declaration packages, and listed prices are ex VAT. The declaration packages include archive, bulk upload, templates and support.
Custran’s strongest fit is for organisations that need structured filing without moving to a broader enterprise customs platform. Templates and bulk uploads can support repeat declarations, while archiving and record retention help maintain customs records. TARIC and commodity-code workflows, document creation, and API integration options extend the platform beyond basic submission. Listed integrations include ROS, HMRC, CNS and MCP (Destin8). Firms operating mainly in Ireland or the UK and seeking clear monthly and declaration-based pricing should consider Custran. Organisations needing wider enterprise functionality or customs coverage beyond its stated workflows may prefer an alternative.
