Customs Management Subscriptions
Customs regulations and compliance don’t have to be frustrating or confusing.
The prospect of Customs risk can often inspire dread. With additional costs, delays, and penalties, it can be difficult to be confident that all obligations are met. And with good reason!..
…since Brexit, the UK regulatory landscape has deeply changed. There’s the new UK Customs Code with over 100 Statutory Instruments, the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, new UK trade agreements and Rules of Origin, the Union Customs Code still applying to some transactions, without mentioning the thorny subject of Retained EU law. It’s never been so difficult to know which rule applies to which transaction.
Our clients have asked for help with this maze of requirements. We responded with a subscription providing a support compliance team to your operations for peace of mind.
Why a Customs Management Subscription?

- Get the peace of mind that you meet your obligations and focus on your business.
- Facilitate supply chain flow with smooth clearances and on-time deliveries.
- Save money, identify savings, avoid additional costs and penalties.
- Protect profit and investors’ money.
- Save time, just ask your expert. Stop wasting time online looking at information pages.

Working with us
We will have a (free) chat to discuss your business, operations, priorities, current compliance level, areas of concern and the level of support you are looking for. This is the opportunity to get to know each other so you can decide whether you want to work with us.
If you’ve decide to join us, we will arrange an Initial Compliance Health Check. This meeting is usually a Zoom/Teams call lasting no more than two hours. It’s a deep dive into the compliance state of your operation that enables us to fully understand what’s currently going on. We’ll also explore your future plans.
We’ll then discuss any pressing issues, risks identified, process improvement, compliance procedures, opportunities for savings and supply chain efficiencies. We’ll set a monthly action plan if necessary. Meanwhile we’ll be available for Customs compliance support.
