About Customs Support Group

Customs Support Group (CSG) is Europe’s leading independent customs services provider. Founded in 1964, we operate in 14 European countries with 100+ offices and a team of 1,700+ customs professionals.

We help companies move goods across borders smoothly and compliantly, taking the pressure out of customs.

What we do

We support more than 60,000 clients and process over 20 million declaration lines each year.

From day‑to‑day customs declarations to compliance, duty optimization and trade advice, we make cross‑border trade easier and more predictable.

How we work:

We combine local customs expertise with modern digital tools to handle large volumes accurately and at speed.

Our technology helps teams work smarter, reduces manual effort, and improves turnaround times. In markets like the UK, this already led to clear productivity gains.

Why it matter:

Customs rules are becoming more complex and mistakes are costly. Delays, compliance risks and unclear regulations can slow businesses down.

CSG helps clients stay compliant, reduce risk and keep their supply chains moving.

At CSG, you will be part of a growing international organization that is improving how customs work gets done.

You will:

• Work with experienced customs professionals and technology teams
