Staffordshire Chambers become first Chamber in network to gain Customs Clearance Agent accreditation

Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce is proud to announce that we have become the first Chamber in the network to be awarded Customs Clearance Accredited Agent status.

The accreditation, awarded by APMG International, gives businesses complete peace of mind that their customs declarations are being completed correctly and in compliance with HMRC.

Allison Tomlinson, International Trade and Customs Manager at the Chamber, said: “I am immensely proud that we have become the first Chamber in the network to achieve this accreditation.

“I have been working on the new CDS software for the last 12 months having done the original trials with HMRC and we are now finalising the process of guiding businesses across to the new software as the old CHIEF platform closes.

“Staffordshire has a proud history of trading internationally and it’s good to see that businesses are continuing to thrive through their strong import and export connections.”

Any business that does not trade internationally but is interested in entering new markets is encouraged to book a space on our upcoming event: International Trade: Broaden Your Markets.

The event is an unmissable opportunity for any business that currently imports or exports, or plans to grow through trading internationally. Book your free space to join our trade experts at Uttoxeter Racecourse on 19 October, here.
