CPG Logistics started its preparation for Brexit in 2018, and began deploying Descartes’ e-Customs to deal with the increase in demand for customs declarations.

Descartes’ e-Customs is a technology for submitting customs declarations to HMRC’s Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) service and the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS) required for trade with Northern Ireland.

Richard Lord, CEO, CPG Logistics said: “It was absolutely crucial for us to start preparing for Brexit ahead of 31st January 2021 to minimise business disruption.

“Despite so much uncertainty caused by Brexit, the support we have received from Descartes and the ease in which the e-Customs solution has been able to integrate with our current SAP system has been world-class.”
