Vixsoft Customs Software review
A mature UK-focused customs system covering declarations, transit, duty and reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Vixsoft Customs Software is a customs clearance and declaration-management system for freight forwarding and shipping businesses. It supports import declarations through the Customs Declaration Service, export submissions, NCTS transit declarations, and Safety and Security declarations for Great Britain. The product also covers duty and tax calculation, commodity-code and CPC management, declaration status updates, document generation, duty and VAT invoicing, and reporting. Founded in 1995, it is positioned within Vixsoft’s wider modular freight-forwarding software suite.
For teams handling UK customs operations, the breadth of declaration coverage is the main strength. Electronic submission is available through HMRC and customs communities, with integrations including HMRC CDS, CNS, MCP (Destin8), ASM Sequoia, Pentant, CCS-UK, and NCTS. CSV and XML templates and uploads can support declaration workflows, while stored commodity-code and CPC data gives recurring customs work a structured foundation. The combination of filing, status tracking, calculation, invoicing, and reporting keeps the product focused on operational customs administration.
The commercial model is contact sales, so buyers should expect a direct procurement process rather than a self-serve subscription. Vixsoft is a strong fit for customs brokers and freight operators that need import, export, transit, safety, security, and compliance-record capabilities in one system. It is less suited to organisations seeking a general trade-management platform outside freight and customs workflows. Buyers should also assess how the wider modular suite fits their existing operating model before choosing the product.
