ChamberCustoms: We are here to help with all your Customs needs
Email customsdeclarations@cambscci.co.uk or call 01223 237414 to see how we can help you.
Challenges Facing Traders: Brexit, the pandemic, inflation, price hikes (fuel, steel, shipping containers) and skill shortages (e.g. drivers) are all challenges businesses continue to face.
Trading businesses must now also be prepared with customs declarations and additional paperwork. From 1 January 2022 full customs controls were introduced at GB borders. All imports and exports will require full customs clearance and tariffs to be paid, without the option to delay these unless the goods are moving from NI to GB. Businesses tell us it feels daunting - and it’s complicated work.
ChamberCustoms are experts in the complex nature of international import and export, with knowledgeable teams based across the UK.
We are the only customs broker with connections to all land, air and sea clearance ports in the UK. Unlike other customs brokers, freight forwarders and agents - we don’t subcontract your declarations to offshore processors or to other brokers at port of entry or exit. You deal directly with our UK based team with direct access to HMRC and all port inventory systems.
LAST CHANCE TO BOOK: The Importance of REX and Supplier Declarations
Following changes that took effect on the 1 January 2022 many UK Traders have been caught out by increased duties on goods from the EU, and are unaware of the documentary requirements they are required to hold from EU Suppliers with regards proof of origin.
In this one- hour event our International Sector Chair, Richard Bartlett of ExportUnlocked, will highlight all you need to know about these changes.
There will be a short presentation covering both elements, followed by a live Q&A Session.

Trade Update
The first round of UK-India trade negotiations began last week. Both sides are keen to assess the potential scope of any agreement by the end of 2022. The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) issued comments on the negotiations and our priorities for them.
The UK and the US have agreed a formal process to consider the future of the US tariffs on UK steel and aluminium exports. EU exports of steel and aluminium do not face US tariffs following a deal last year. The UK-US joint statement raises the possibility of stronger measures against Chinese steel imports to both markets.
