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