What steps are necessary to integrate the GLS customs interface (API) into your own system?
A few structured steps are required to integrate the GLS Customs API into your own system:
1. Registration
- Registration in the GLS Developer Portal for customers and partners
- Prerequisite: Business customer
2. Receive access data
- After registration you will receive the necessary API accesses
3. Technical integration
- Use of the REST API provided
- Automated transfer of customs data and export documents from your system
4. Use documentation
- Access to technical instructions, examples and step-by-step guides in the Developer Portal
5. Test phase and go-live

This allows you to efficiently integrate customs clearance into your existing shipping processes and automate international shipments.
