Langdon has been simplifying customs and excise operations for 40 years with our leading Duty Management System (DMS). But our story isn’t just about systems and software.
It’s about people who are dedicated to seeking new and better ways of doing things, always with your needs at the heart of everything they do.
From our early roots supporting UK bonded warehouses to today’s connected platforms, our mission has always been the same: to provide a trusted and reliable customs compliance solution for our clients.
Our journey so far
Langdon began as a consultancy helping UK businesses navigate customs and excise regulations. Over time, we saw an opportunity to combine human expertise with technology to create one of the first integrated duty management systems on the market.
Where it all began
Founded in the UK in 1985, Langdon quickly became a trusted customs and excise partner for bonded warehouse operators navigating complex procedures.
Built on expertise
Early success came from a deep understanding of customs legislation and a hands-on approach that set new standards for customs compliance and accuracy.
Introducing the Duty Management System (DMS)
We launched our first DMS platform in 1995, pioneering automation in customs declarations and transforming how clients managed bonded stock.
Expanding capabilities
From customs warehousing to excise management and consultancy, Langdon evolved into a full-service partner for importers, exporters, warehouse operators and logistics providers.
Innovating with integration
Our systems now integrate seamlessly with ERP and WMS platforms, including SAP, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics, to deliver end-to-end visibility and control.

Today, Langdon supports some of the UK and Ireland’s most recognisable brands, combining ingenious systems with expert service to deliver total customs confidence.
