About TCSA

Founded in 1999, TCSA is a member-led, not-for-profit community improving practice across UK customs & trade. We connect peers, document what good looks like, and give smaller operators a louder voice.

Who We Are

A neutral, member-run association for importers, exporters, brokers, and operators. We share know-how, publish what good looks like, and keep members briefed.

How We're Governed

Independent, not-for-profit. A volunteer board oversees strategy and standards; working groups write practical guidance reviewed by peers.

2026 Secretariat Statement

“As Secretariat, my 2026 focus is a simpler single membership backed by real support—ICS2 readiness clinics, a live customs helpline, rapid circulars, practical templates, and curated introductions—while we escalate member issues through established HMRC channels and remain fully independent.”
