A customs consultant provides tailor-made advice for your company about importing and exporting goods.

They answer your questions about anything to do with the world of customs, and they have the ability and the knowledge to answer your questions, however challenging or niche these might be. ChamberCustoms consultants are here to support you with information that relates specifically to your business, your challenges, the opportunities presented for the types of goods you are importing or exporting and additional aspects that you may not have considered. They are here to impart knowledge to make your business more efficient and compliant.

The reason people come to us is because of our wealth of expertise. We have several consultants who can help businesses navigate the complexities of international trading, such as regulations and customs notices.

We understand the range of questions businesses have about international trade. We can guarantee that we will have a consultant who knows precisely where to look and how to answer your specific queries or help with your particular challenges.

When traders come to ChamberCustoms for advice, they are typically frustrated because there is so much information  and they just don’t know what is relevant to them. Our goal is to understand what you need then provide the expertise to navigate a complex world and finally come back with the answers specific to the customer.

We help companies with training, consultancy and customs clearance. If you are unsure of your exact needs, one of our helpful team members will be able to walk you through your particular concerns and questions and direct you to the right team at ChamberCustoms.

There is a wide choice of companies on the market: some specialise in customs training, some advertise international consultants, and several offer customs brokerage or clearance services. ChamberCustoms is unique because we are a one-stop shop for anything your company needs when importing and exporting.

One of the benefits of working with ChamberCustoms is that we have been there from the beginning. We connect to the 53 Chambers of Commerce spread around the UK and are wholly owned by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), which has been the go-to resource for international trade for over a hundred years.

We helped thousands of businesses navigate Brexit and are now helping more since the end of staged customs clearance has come to pass.

We are a trailblazer for HMRC’s new systems (as we move from the CHIEF system to CDS) and regularly participate in their pilots, offering expert advice. We are consultants and trainers but we also facilitate customs clearance – so our advice is not just theoretical, it comes from expertise on the ground.

ChamberCustoms is fully owned by the British Chambers of Commerce. Our International network of experts leads all of our services. Our import and export advisors regularly appear as expert witnesses in parliament, a trusted voice for the media, and provide expert advice to the Government.

Our consultants have years of experience working with and within multi-national companies and SMEs importing and exporting goods – and can tap into that expertise for your business.
