Connect HMRC Customs Declarations API to Hypamoon

Possible, with help from HMRC Customs Declarations API. The API is documented, but you cannot just create a key: access goes through HMRC Customs Declarations API first.

Possible

The check

Three questions about the API of HMRC Customs Declarations API, answered from its own docs.

Public API docs
Yes. Read the docs
A key you create yourself
No. Sandbox credentials are self-service; production credentials need an application that HMRC reviews in up to 10 working days. developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk
Versions or a changelog
Yes. Versioned API; a backwards incompatible change raises the version number. developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk
How it signs in
OAuth 2.0 user restricted access with the Government Gateway login of the trader; sandbox test users are created through an API.
Webhooks
Not confirmed.
Hosting
Cloud
Condition
Production access needs approval from HMRC.

What you can build

Submit customs declarations for your UK imports and exports from your own order system, once HMRC has approved your production application.

Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. How adapters work

Good to know

  • HMRC Customs Declarations API signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for HMRC Customs Declarations API takes more work: ask your chat to check this first.
  • Version 1.0 is available in production; version 2.0 is in beta in the sandbox only.

Try it in your chat

First get access from HMRC Customs Declarations API. Then fill in what to read and write, and send it.

The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found.

Check if [software] has an open API that a Hypamoon adapter can use: public API docs, a key or token I can create myself without asking the vendor, and versions or a changelog. Link the pages you used.
