Just Trade review
A UK-focused hub for CDS declarations, transit entries and export documents.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Just Trade is a cloud, browser-accessible trade management platform for exporters, importers, freight forwarders and customs agents. Its core workflows cover UK Customs Declaration Service (CDS) imports and exports, Entry Summary Declarations for goods entering Great Britain, and export declarations through NCTS5 transit procedures. The platform also generates commercial invoices, packing lists and CMR notes, with tools for templates, duplicated transactions, commodity-line bulk actions and package allocation. It is aimed at small and mid-market organisations handling UK customs work.
Pricing is paid and published by service. The stated starting price is £2,000 per user per year. CDS plans list Standard at £230 per month or £2,625 per year, Premium at £315 per month or £3,675 per year, Bronze at £410 per month or £4,750 per year, and Silver at £450 per month or £5,250 per year; each plan highlights the Customs Declaration Service. The vendor also publishes separate annual licences for export-document software, while some services are priced on application. Buyers should therefore scope declaration volume and document requirements across the separate tables before budgeting.
The strongest fit is a UK-focused customs operation that values repeatable data entry and document control. Templates for commodities and recurring transactions, declaration duplication, CSV export reports and automatic weight and volume calculations address recurring administrative work. A JSON API provides a route into third-party applications, and support is available by email, phone and documentation. Guidance covers trade rules for more than 200 destinations, but the declaration features remain centered on UK procedures. Businesses requiring broad multi-country customs filing, or seeking a free entry tier, should consider alternatives with a wider regional scope or different pricing model.
