How do I add Authorizations to a CDS declaration?

CDS requires that authorizations held are declared on every declaration and are sent as a document reference (DE 2/3)  along with the authorization type code and holder details (DE 3/39).

The authorizations required will depend on the type of declaration being sent and if any customs guarantees are required. A list of document codes are available from this HMRC website.
