OVERVIEW

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY:

• Prepare reports and management information as requested
• Provide courteous, prompt, and professional customer service to clients

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Customer-Service orientation
• A team player who takes initiative and is open to learning new ways of doing things
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word
• Understanding of state, federal, and international customs and trade regulations

• 3–5+ years of operational experience quoting, filing, and auditing customs entries
• Experience working with Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) in the customs clearance process
