API Development for LogTech — UK Specifics

Carrier API Integration — UK Logistics

UK carrier APIs: Royal Mail Click & Drop (SOAP/REST), DPD UK REST API, DHL Express API, FedEx Ship Manager API, Parcelforce Manifests API, Evri (Hermes) REST API, DX Freight API. Common integration pattern: abstraction layer (normalise all carrier APIs to a common shipment model — single call from OMS to create shipment regardless of carrier). Label generation: ZPL (Zebra printer) or PDF labels per carrier. Tracking webhook: real-time delivery status events.

HMRC Customs Declaration Service (CDS)

Post-Brexit customs declaration software: HMRC CDS (replaced CHIEF in 2023) for import and export declarations. CDS API: HMRC Developer Hub (registration required). Import declarations (IM): commodity code, customs value, country of origin, duty calculation, postponed VAT accounting (PVA). Export declarations (EX): customs value, commodity code, export licence checks (SPIRE API for controlled goods). CDS integration is complex — specialist knowledge required.

DEFRA APIs for UK Agriculture and Food Logistics

DEFRA APIs relevant to UK food and agricultural logistics: Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed (IPAFFS) — pre-notification of animal products and high-risk food imports, Food Chain Information (FCI) — livestock movement traceability, Scot Vet Assurance (Scotland), and APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) import/export certifications. Food logistics platforms integrating with DEFRA APIs must handle certificate validation and IPAFFS pre-notification.

Real-Time Tracking and UK GDPR

Logistics tracking platforms process personal data: recipient name, delivery address, phone number, delivery instructions. UK GDPR basis: contract performance (delivery of goods ordered by recipient). Data minimisation: tracking data shared with recipient only — not published publicly. Retention: delivery confirmation data retained for 7 years (HMRC commercial records obligation). Driver location data (real-time GPS): employee personal data — separate processing activity under UK GDPR employment provisions.
