What a ChamberCustoms Partnership means for You
- Less strain on your skilled staff – outsourcing customs declarations to experienced experts means you can build your core services.
- Enhance your profit margins – by sub-contracting to professional customs agents rather than another freight forwarder – where you can lose engagement and the relationship with your customer.
- Your customers are in safe hands – ChamberCustoms delivers efficiency and compliance, which is why 77% of our customers recommend us.
Benefits of Partnering with ChamberCustoms
- Port Access and Port Badges – At ChamberCustoms, we work harmoniously with Freight Forwarders to provide port access, compliance with the UK Global Tariff, and the CDS operating manual
- If you hold badges and inventory for some ports and sub-contract other port access to competitors – we can help without losing your profit margin.
- Our partner forwarders can clear goods at any major port in the UK, satisfying their customer requirements by utilising our technology and inventory links.
- We are compliant and efficient – Working with HMRC, we are trailblazers in replacing CHIEF with CDS. We can help you switch customers to CDS faster and reduce the pain of transitioning and learning—speedily processing customs declarations and transit documents.
- Our digital customs clearance platform (Exabler) – Any UK-registered freight forwarder can use our digital platform. Your customers remain in control of the declarations we make on their behalf, populating the correct data fields in CDS. Highly-skilled customs agents check the data to ensure compliance with HMRC.
- We make customs clear – we provide compliant customs clearance and declarations, removing traders’ confusion and frustration.

Freight Forwarders And Customs Clearance
The most significant difference between freight forwarders and customs brokerage is that freight forwarders can physically move your cargo and offer a delivery service via rail, sea or air freight, which customs brokers or customs clearance agents can’t do.
