The Netherlands in boost for UK-EU trade

Leading digital trade solutions provider and DP World company, Community Network Services (CNS), has today announced the expansion of its industry-leading Customs Management services to The Netherlands. The expansion, which went live on 1st July, marks the first step in the UK company's broader European expansion strategy. Operating out of DP World's Rotterdam office, CNS's team provide Dutch logistics service providers, international shipping companies, cross-border trade partners and other logistics partners the tools to simplify and automate customs declarations, ensure regulatory compliance and optimise their supply chains via their dedicated online platform.

Mark Scott, Commercial Director of CNS, said: "We are thrilled to announce our expansion into the Netherlands, a key strategic market for our European growth. For almost 40 years, CNS has been the partner-of-choice for the movement and clearance of goods through UK and Irish ports, so we are delighted to begin operations in The Netherlands which will bring significant value to Dutch businesses. "This expansion is a testament to our commitment to providing digital solutions that deliver speed, simplicity and cost-effective technology that enables a seamless, compliant customs declaration software solution - a must for cross border UK-EU trade."

Leveraging decades of expertise and innovation, CNS's digital platform offers a range of features, including automated customs declarations, real-time compliance monitoring, integrated data management and streamlined communication with Dutch, British and Irish customs authorities.

The expansion follows CNS's major awards win at Multimodal 2025 in Birmingham in June, which saw the company take home the 'Customs Technology Company of the Year' award, cementing its position as a market leader in the field of customs and cross-border freight transit software solutions.
