What DOJÖ Consulting Group does

DOJÖ Consulting Group is the trade compliance advisory arm of Customs Support Group B.V., a Netherlands-based private limited company headquartered in Rotterdam (Willem Barentszstraat 11, 3165 AA). The firm serves large enterprises across Europe and globally, positioning itself as Europe's largest trade advisory and customs management team with 80+ experts covering 50+ jurisdictions and 30+ industry verticals. Its core proposition is reducing customs and trade compliance risk, optimizing duty exposure, and providing embedded customs operations for clients navigating complex and shifting trade regulations.

The company's product portfolio spans Trade Advisory, Customs Classification, Customs-as-a-Service, Duty Optimisation, Compliance Consulting, Licensing & Authorisation, Customs Clearance, CustomsTech, Control Tower, Gas Measurement & Risk Management, and a Customs Centre of Excellence. Underlying these services is a Proprietary Tracking Tool that provides classification management and multi-jurisdiction customs visibility, alongside a pan-European classification hub that processes 10M+ items annually. The DOJO Masterclass sub-brand operates a one-day training program for corporate customs and trade professionals, supporting thought leadership and lead generation.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements and managed services outsourcing, with quote-based, non-publicly disclosed pricing tailored to enterprise needs. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct strategic consultation, positioning services as outsourced customs operations executed alongside client teams rather than traditional external advisory. Customer segments are organized by vertical—Automotive, Chemicals, Fashion, FMCG, Fresh, Retail, and Transportation & Logistics—and the company is also pursuing M&A as a growth lever, as evidenced by a dedicated M&A page on its website.
