Keeping your customs on track
Whatever your customs or supply chain challenge, we are here to help. We support businesses of all shapes and sizes, across geographical borders and industrial sectors, to keep their customs on track.
We work in partnership with our clients. After all, you know your business! We get to know your business needs and priorities – that way we can review what you currently have in place, and suggest procedures that will not only ensure you meet all HMRC compliance requirements, but also streamline your supply chain.
We can also work with you throughout the application process for HMRC Authorisations – offering as much or as little support and advice as you need, when you need it.
Of course, you may wish to upskill your own in-house team – we can help with that too! We offer a range of general customs training courses to meet demand throughout the year. What’s more, we also design bespoke training packages that cater to the specific needs of individual businesses.

Customs Support
Sometimes it’s a case of ‘You don’t know what you don’t know.’ That’s where we come in. Whether it’s reviewing your customs and supply chain procedures, creating new ones, or just acting as your customs sounding board – we do it all, with a smile!
HMRC Authorisations
Successfully applying for an HMRC Authorisation can allow you the option of delaying payment of Customs duties / VAT to HMRC, and potentially reducing that rate of duty. We can provide as much or as little support as you require during the application process, and beyond.
Training
We stay ahead of the curve to help you do the same. We offer a range of general customs related online courses throughout the year, as well as bespoke training packages designed around the topics that best suit your team.
THE BETHAN STORY
Following a career working in supply chain, logistics and customs consultancy settings, Nicola Alexander established Bethan Customs Consultancy from her spare bedroom in 2015.
Since then, Bethan (as it’s affectionately known) has grown considerably – both in scale and reputation. The team has expanded to meet demand, and long since moved from a spare room to a stunning, purpose-built office in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire.
The Bethan team have worked hard to build a stellar reputation for providing clear and practical advice, as well as training and on-going support to businesses in relation to their customs compliance and supply chain requirements. It’s a track record that has secured them UK-wide contracts with clients across a diverse range of sectors, from oil and gas to food and drink.
From the outset Nicola was determined to provide independent customs advice and support, and Bethan remains true to that vision, offering completely impartial, unbiased advice driven solely by your best interests.
Teamwork is also a cornerstone of the Bethan philosophy. Staff members work closely with each other to support and advise clients. They also work in partnership with those clients – after all, getting to know a business and its people is the best way to determine the most suitable customs and supply chain solutions.

Points to ponder as we reach the end of the deferment period
Since the 1st January 2021, HMRC have allowed UK businesses to defer making import declarations, in a bid to help them adapt to our new trading relationship with the EU and the inherent additional requirements.
