Customs Entry Writer

Most entry writer roles just hand you a queue. This one hands you ownership of getting it right. We're partnering with an established freight forwarding and customs brokerage team built around clean, audit-ready work and a no-politics, performance-first culture. They move volume — but they're not willing to trade accuracy for speed, and they're looking for someone who feels the same way. The opportunity This is an end-to-end ownership role. You'll take import entries from documents to clearance — classifying correctly, filing clean, and resolving issues before they become holds. There's no hand-off halfway through; the entry is yours from start to finish, and so is the outcome. What you'll own Full-cycle entries — prepare and submit import entries in CargoWise accurately and on time, every time. Classification & compliance — apply correct HS codes, duty/tax treatments, and PGA requirements without guesswork. Document review — catch discrepancies in commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading before they cause problems downstream. Duty & charge calculations — get the numbers right the first time; mistakes here cost real money. Clearance management — track shipments through clearance, resolve customs queries and holds quickly, and keep things moving. Clean records — maintain audit-ready documentation on every entry, no shortcuts. Practical guidance — be the go-to resource for clients and internal teams navigating import requirements.
