London, UK – Customs Manager Ltd., a leading consultancy specializing in customs, export controls, and sanctions compliance, has announced its decision to partner with Customs Declarations UK as the platform of choice for submitting customs declarations. The selection follows a rigorous six-month evaluation process led by the consultancy’s Managing Director, Arne Mielken, during which top UK-based customs software solutions were meticulously assessed.
Arne Mielken: A Trailblazer in Customs and International Trade
Arne Mielken is a renowned expert in customs and international trade, celebrated for his strategic insights and unparalleled expertise in navigating complex regulatory environments. As the founder and Managing Director of Customs Manager Ltd., Arne has built a reputation for delivering top-tier consultancy services to businesses across the UK and the EU.
His extensive professional background includes key roles such as Vice President of The Institute of Export & International Trade, Head of Customs at Lidl, Director of Global Trade Management at E2open, and Senior Manager at Amber Road. This wealth of experience has cemented Arne’s position as one of the most influential figures in the customs industry.
Why Customs Declarations UK Stood Out
In his assessment of Customs Declarations UK, Arne highlighted the platform’s outstanding user experience, efficiency, and proactive support team. “After a comprehensive hands-on review, it became evident that Customs Declarations UK excels as a partner,” said Mielken. “The platform not only simplifies the complexities of customs declarations but does so with a rare human touch. Their responsive team, led by CEO Jawahir Lal Lund, and their intuitive interface, which reduces filing time by almost 50%, made them the clear choice.”
Customs Declarations UK’s cloud-based platform is designed to streamline customs filings for imports and exports in the UK. Its step-by-step guided interface simplifies code selection and minimizes errors, ensuring businesses can file declarations quickly and accurately. Features such as automated drop-down menus for HS and commodity codes further enhance the platform’s usability, reducing rejections and improving compliance.
“Our platform is customer-centric,” explained Jawahir Lal Lund, CEO of Customs Declarations UK. “We aim to make the customs filing process as seamless as possible so businesses can focus on growth while we handle their compliance needs.”
A Partnership Built on Accessibility and Support
One of the key differentiators for Arne was the accessibility and dedication of Customs Declarations UK’s support team. “With my previous provider, the setup process was cumbersome, and support felt distant,” shared Mielken. “In contrast, Customs Declarations UK had me fully onboarded and filing within minutes. Their commitment to client success and proactive engagement is refreshing and inspires trust.”
Jawahir Lal Lund added, “We pride ourselves on listening closely to client feedback and making meaningful improvements to our platform. Arne’s input has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing our partnership to serve UK businesses with the highest standards of compliance and efficiency.”
The Road Ahead for Customs Declarations UK
With over 55,000 declarations managed to date, Customs Declarations UK is constantly evolving to meet the demands of the dynamic customs landscape. Recent enhancements include the introduction of safety and security modules for S&SGB and ICS2 filings, as well as a Transit module for NCTS-5 filings, solidifying the platform as a comprehensive customs management solution.
Both Arne Mielken and Customs Declarations UK share a vision of innovation and excellence, working together to empower UK businesses with the tools they need to thrive in international trade.
