Consultancy Services

Our expert customs consultants will tailor a support package specific to your business; which will typically commence with two days of consultancy, split into:

  • 2 hours of enquiry

  • 10 hours of research, analysis and report writing

  • 2 hours of presentation and Q&A

Two Days (14 hours in total)

Some companies will need more customer fact-finding than research, analysis and report-writing which is why our service is adaptable to your needs and requirements.

Why ChamberCustoms?

ChamberCustoms has direct links to all major air, sea and land port terminals. Our consultants are also intrinsically linked to local business communities with their ties to the local Chamber of Commerce network.

For over 100 years, the Chambers of Commerce have been trusted by the government and businesses to certify certificates of origin and preferential trade documents. Every year our experts issue thousands of documents relating to goods worth millions of pounds, ensuring that goods can enter foreign countries with minimal delay and cost.

Uniquely, ChamberCustoms exists to clear goods for import and export at every port in the UK. We can access faster duty and VAT payments through our deferment account to make duty and VAT payments to HMRC on your behalf or help you through a flexible accounting system to pay HMRC directly. A potentially complicated process is made smooth, quick and entirely transparent.

Businesses have the opportunity to access more of their customs information in one place.
