Europe’s leading independent provider of customs clearance and trade solutions has announced the acquisition of a top-tier global firm to create the largest trade advisory division on the continent.
Customs Support Group (CSG) has completed the strategic acquisition of DOJÖ Consulting Group, an advisory firm in global trade management strategy and customs compliance outsourcing for large-scale companies.
The move enables CSG to strengthen its offering in trade compliance consultancy and expand on its already-comprehensive service provision.
Together with DOJÖ’s experts, CSG now boasts the largest trade advisory division in Europe, with more than 80 consultants across the continent, specialising in both strategic and operational advice.
The group will also house the first ‘European Classification Hub’ of its kind, addressing the increasing demand for external expertise in accurate goods classification amid evolving tariff uncertainties.
CSG, which has its UK headquarters in Felixstowe, has completed the acquisition as demand for customs and trade compliance support reaches critical levels, due to a shifting global trade environment, evolving regulations and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
“Adding DOJÖ’s capabilities to Customs Support, we are creating a best-in-class team of customs and trade experts in Europe,” said John Wegman, CEO of Customs Support Group.
“Together, we will leverage our combined strengths to take global trade management to the next level, creating a unique team dedicated to delivering exceptional results for our clients.”
John said DOJÖ’s deep expertise in global trade compliance management and strategy will complement CSG’s extensive hands-on experience in customs handling processes and digital innovations.
“This strengthened combined team will enhance the depth, reach, and quality of the customs and compliance solutions delivered to clients across Europe and beyond,” he added.
“Joining forces with CSG opens a world of opportunities for our team and clients,” said Nicolas Urien, CEO of DOJÖ Consulting Group.
“Our shared commitment to excellence and innovation in global trade management will allow us to expand our reach across Europe and offer an unparalleled team that combines strategic services with best-in-class compliance execution.”
