Love customs paperwork almost as much as seeing shipments arrive on time?
Our client is a specialist international shipping and forwarding company with over 30 years of experience moving some of the world's most prestigious, rare and valuable vehicles across the globe.
They're now looking for an Import & Export Customs Coordinator to join their friendly and knowledgeable International Shipping team.
If the thought of a perfectly completed customs declaration brings you more satisfaction than it probably should, this could be the role for you.
PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE RURAL LOCATION OF THE JOB YOU WILL NEED TO DRIVE TO GET HERE
The Role
As an Import & Export Customs Coordinator, you'll be the person making sure shipments move smoothly across borders, paperwork stays compliant, and customs officials remain happy.
Think of yourself as the person behind the scenes making international logistics look easy (even when it definitely isn't).
What You'll Be Doing
- Preparing import customs clearances for international sea and air freight shipments.
- Completing export customs declarations and documentation.
- Managing export sea freight paperwork and shipment schedules.
- Keeping bonded warehouse records and T-Forms up to date and compliant.
- Working with Destin8, CNS and ASM systems.
- Raising and discharging T-Forms for European road freight movements.
- Supporting customs activities for European import and export road freight.
- Assisting with IPR authorisations, NOVA applications and ATR (BTI) applications.
- Completing air freight documentation.
- Liaising with customers, agents, ports, shipping lines and hauliers.
- Solving the occasional customs puzzle before it becomes a customs problem.
- Providing excellent service and keeping clients informed every step of the way.
What We're Looking For
- At least 1-2 years' customs clearance or freight forwarding experience.
- A solid understanding of import and export procedures.
- Knowledge of customs and shipping documentation for sea and air freight.
- Experience using systems such as Destin8, CNS, ASM or similar.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple shipments at once.
- Excellent communication skills.
- The ability to stay calm when deadlines, vessels and paperwork all decide to arrive at the same time.
Why Join?
- Work with a business that handles some of the world's most exciting and valuable vehicles.
- Join a supportive and experienced team that genuinely enjoys what they do.
- Enjoy a varied role where no two days are quite the same.
- Be part of a company where your customs expertise is genuinely valued.
The Bottom Line
Customs can be complicated. International shipping can be unpredictable. Your job is to make both look effortless.
No pressure.
