Please only apply if you have direct, hands-on experience in international logistics and customs clearance. This is not a general administration role.

Day to day, you can expect to be:

- Preparing and reviewing import/export documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin
- Managing customs clearance activities, liaising directly with freight forwarders and customs brokers
- Monitoring duty payments, taxes, and customs-related charges
- Raising purchase orders and maintaining accurate logistics records
- Keeping up to date with changes to customs regulations and trade requirements
What We're Looking For - Import/Export Coordinator
You must have proven experience in international logistics, freight forwarding, or customs clearance. Knowledge of import/export documentation and compliance is essential, as is the ability to manage multiple shipments simultaneously to tight deadlines.
Experience with ERP or WMS systems and knowledge of Incoterms would be a strong advantage, as would any customs or freight forwarding qualifications.
