About The Position

Advisor to support our Global Trade Management group. The ideal candidate should have strong trade compliance principles, customs protest knowledge, post summary correction experience and solid grasp of CBP regulations, import/export laws and HTS for accurate classification of goods. This is a remote, day shift.

Requirements

Understanding of Customs Regulations: import/export laws, and international trade agreements. This includes familiarity with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) for accurate classification of goods.
Post Summary Correction (PSC) Expertise: Experience with PSCs is preferred, including understanding their purpose (to amend entry summary data before liquidation), eligibility requirements (e.g., entry must be accepted, in CBP control, paid, and not under CBP review), and timing limitations (e.g., within 300 days from entry date and at least 15 days before liquidation).
Customs Protest Knowledge: Familiar with the CBP protest process, understanding that it's a formal objection to CBP decisions
Trade Compliance Principles: Foundation in broader trade compliance, including valuation, duty rates, and trade programs (e.g., Free Trade Agreements), is essential to identify discrepancies and potential cost savings.
Documentation Acumen: Ability to review and understand import/export documentation such as shipping documents, bills of lading, and invoices.
Proficiency with Customs Software: Experience with customs brokerage software and government systems like the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
Data Management: Capability to work with databases and Excel
Microsoft Office Suite: Advanced knowledge of programs like Excel for data analysis and Word/Outlook for communication is required.
Meticulous Attention to Detail
The ability to analyze complex data, identify discrepancies, investigate root causes of errors, and develop corrective actions is critical for both PSCs and protests.
Clear and effective written and verbal communication
Given the potential for challenges in obtaining information or resolving complex issues, a candidate should be persistent in pursuing necessary details and proactive in implementing solutions.
The role involves managing multiple corrections and protests within strict deadlines, requiring strong organizational abilities and the capacity to multitask under pressure.
