Submitting Declaration Questions

To complete your Declarations on the 3Keel Commodities Platform, you must download the Declaration templates for your associated commodities, complete the declaration and upload into the Declaration submission area.

You need to compete one Declaration per commodity you supply to your customer(s). (Whereas Policy questions are per retail customer you supply to, for each commodity.)

You can not submit your Policy questions relating to individual customers until you have uploaded your commodities Declarations.

Declaration Area

We would suggest you start your submission process by downloading your Declaration templates.

Select 'Step 1: Upload your Declaration' to go to the Declaration page. (You can also be taken to the Declaration page at the end of your Policy questions. Remember: you can not submit any Policies until you have uploaded the corresponding Declaration.)

Downloading your Declaration
