CTC Traders API

Version and status
Available in Sandbox	Yes
Sandbox base URL	https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk
Available in Production	Yes
Production base URL	https://api.service.hmrc.gov.uk

Overview

This API will allow you to send departure and arrival movement notifications to the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS). It will also let you retrieve messages sent from the offices of departure and destination.

We have now released the API with working arrivals and departures endpoints for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. You can now also run tests for Great Britain and Northern Ireland movements in HMRC's sandbox environment.

• Read our Roadmap for important dates and service updates
• Read our Service Guide to the CTC Traders API
• Read our step by step Testing Guide to learn how to test your software and ensure it is compatible

Further details of the User Restricted Authentication are given on the Authorisation page.

For more information about how to develop your own client applications, including example clients for this API, see Tutorials.

Versioning

When an API changes in a way that is backwards-incompatible, we increase the version number of the API. See our reference guide for more on versioning.

Percent-encoding of parameters in request URLs

When writing code to use date filters in request URLs, you must always use percent-encoding. This is because some common characters used in dates and timestamps are not allowed to be used in URLs.

If you do not use percent-encoding you will get a 400 Bad Request as a default response.

For example:

• the timestamp 2021-06-21T09:00+00:00 should be encoded as 2021-06-21T09%3A00%2B00%3A00

When formatting query parameters into the request URL for date and time filtering functionality, you must only use the date and time format as specified in Developer Hub. You’ll then be using the common ISO 8601 standard 2021-06-21T09:00+00:00 that is compatible with our CTC Traders API.

Here are more examples in different programming languages:

Java

java.net.URLEncoder.encode("2021-04-30T16:08:31+00:00");

Python:

from urllib.parse import quote

quote('2021-04-30T16:08:31+00:00')

C#:

Uri.EscapeDataString("2021-04-30T16:08:31+00:00");

When sending requests to HMRC APIs you must always use percent-encoding within the URL to avoid getting any 400 Bad Requests.

You should also note:

• some common data types described in the Reference Guide on Developer Hub contain characters that are not valid for use in URLs
• some software libraries do the percent-encoding for you automatically when you develop software using their facilities. Your web framework might also do this automatically for you

Find out more

There are many frameworks and libraries that can handle percent-encoding for you. For background information about percent-encoding, we recommend you read (all links open in a new window):

• RFC
• Wikipedia
• MDN

Push Pull notifications

You can use our Push Pull Notification Service to receive notifications of new messages from NCTS.

• if your endpoint is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) then you must either use edge-optimised custom domain names or regional custom domain names
• this new functionality will send you a notification each time there is a new message for you to read
• for messages less than 100KB the Push Notification will contain the message body
• the Push Notification will have a field containing the messageURI
• you can then use this URI to download the XML message from the CTC Traders API

Using this functionality will save you time and resources by not having to poll for new messages.

Errors

Here is the list of error codes that we will keep updating. We use standard HTTP status codes to show whether an API request has succeeded or not:

POST

400 BadRequest: XML has failed validation - see response body for details

401 Unauthorized: If client passes invalid auth credentials

403 Forbidden: If supplied auth token doesn't contain valid enrolment

404 Not Found: If no object with specified ID found in database

415 Unsupported Media Type: If the client specified an invalid Content-Type header

500 Internal Server Error: If exception in code occurs

501 Not Implemented: If user attempts to POST a message and the message type isn't currently supported

PUT

400 BadRequest: If XML message is invalid

401 Unauthorized: If client passes invalid auth credentials

403 Forbidden: If supplied auth token doesn't contain valid enrolment

404 Not Found: If no object with specified ID found in database

415 Unsupported Media Type: If the client specified an invalid Content-Type header

500 Internal Server Error: If exception in code occurs

GET

401 Unauthorized: If client passes invalid auth credentials

403 Forbidden: If supplied auth token doesn't contain valid enrolment

404 Not Found: If no object with specified ID found in database. Or if client passes in an Accept header which contains the wrong API version number. We have only released version 1.0 of the API

415 Unsupported Media Type: If Accept header contains invalid type

500 Internal Server Error: If exception in code occurs

Errors specific to each API are shown in the Endpoints section, under Response. See our reference guide for more on errors.

Endpoints

/customs/transits/movements/arrivals

Get all Movement Arrivals

GET

Get all Movement Arrivals.

You may opt to filter this list of Arrivals so that you only receive Movement Arrivals that have been updated since a specified date and time.

Any Movement Arrivals more than 28 days old will have been archived along with their related messages. Archived movements will return an HTTP 404 Not Found status. You will only be able to retrieve these messages if you have the correct Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number for that Movement Arrival.
