At Bright Customs, our mission is to provide reliable, compliant, and efficient customs clearance services to businesses trading between the UK and the EU. One of the ways we uphold that standard is through our membership in the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) - the UK’s foremost professional body for international trade professionals.
This isn’t just a badge on our website - it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to quality, accuracy, and up-to-date knowledge in an industry that’s constantly evolving.
What it means for our clients
Being part of the IOE&IT brings real advantages to our clients. Here's how:
✅ Professional standards you can trust
Our IOE&IT membership confirms that we work in accordance with recognised industry best practices. Clients can rely on Bright Customs to uphold the highest levels of professionalism, ethics, and compliance in all customs-related matters.
✅ Always informed, always compliant
The world of customs and international trade is dynamic, particularly since Brexit. As a member of the Institute, we have direct access to regular updates, briefings, and insights on the latest customs procedures, regulatory changes, and policy shifts.
This means fewer surprises and better guidance for your business.
✅ Expert support at our fingertips
Complex import/export cases? Tight deadlines? Unusual declarations?
Through our affiliation with the IOE&IT, we can quickly consult expert advisors and a network of professionals. This allows us to solve problems faster and more effectively on your behalf, especially when it comes to issues at the UK border.
✅ Commitment to continuous development
We don’t stand still. Our team actively engages in training and development through the Institute’s programmes to stay ahead of industry trends and legal requirements.
You benefit from a team that’s knowledgeable, confident, and up-to-date.
✅ Greater credibility with authorities and partners
As an IOE&IT member, Bright Customs is recognised by HMRC, port authorities, and key industry bodies as a serious and capable customs intermediary. That reputation helps smooth the way for your consignments, reduces friction at the border, and strengthens trust with overseas stakeholders.
Our membership with the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade is part of our broader effort to deliver a customs brokerage service that’s professional, proactive, and precise. For our clients, this translates into faster clearances, clearer guidance, and complete peace of mind.
