Upload export data

Uploading export declarations

You can upload one or more exports using our CSV template. This can make it much easier for you to create export declarations if you have data in another system, and you want to bring it over to ClearPort.

Basic CSV Template

Full CSV Template

When you upload a CSV with more than one line, ClearPort will combine all the lines with identical Header information onto the same declaration (fields marked both Header and Item do not need to be the same for each line), otherwise multiple declarations will be created.
