As we have multiple imports arriving in quick succession their efficiency and fast turnaround is essential for our business to keep our services flowing!” Scott Hutchings Sales Office Manager, Headland “We have been using the ChamberCustoms Services since launch and now arrange all our customs declarations through ChamberCustoms. We have found the service to be consistently excellent with fast turnaround times and responsive support when needed. The attention to detail associated with arranging customs declarations through ChamberCustoms is second to
none. So, if you are looking for a service provider to handle your customs declarations we have no hesitation in recommending ChamberCustoms services.” Chris Willers MIEx Managing Director, Access to Export “We have used the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce for many years to provide certificates of origin for our exports. They were always very knowledgeable and helpful. When all our EU exports required export declarations after Brexit, the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce provided some incredibly useful training courses on our responsibilities in advance. They were naturally, therefore, our first choice for making our export declarations thereafter. They’ve continued to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in making our export declarations, and their attention to detail is superb. Subsequently, virtually all of our EU exports have made it out of the UK without problems. The small number that have been detained have been down to problems with the paperwork of our consignees, or their shipping agents. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce for superb guidance and quick service in making export declarations.” James Williams Director, Michael Williams Engineering Ltd INTERESTED IN USING OUR CUSTOMS AGENT SERVICES?
