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.

Uniquely, ChamberCustoms exists to clear goods for import and export at every port in the UK.
