  • Classify merchandise under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and verify duty rates, valuation, and country of origin
  • Apply appropriate trade programs and duty-saving provisions (e.g., FTAs, Chapter 98, Section 301/232 requirements)
  • Identify and comply with Partner Government Agency (PGA) requirements such as FDA, USDA, EPA, and CPSC, and file the required data
  • Submit ISF filings and monitor timelines to avoid penalties
  • Coordinate with customer service, operations, and carriers to obtain missing documentation and resolve discrepancies
  • Track entry status, respond to CBP notices (CF-28/CF-29), and assist with corrections, PSCs, and post-entry amendments
  • Monitor releases and holds, communicating exam or delay information to internal teams and clients promptly
  • Maintain accurate records in line with CBP recordkeeping requirements
  • Stay current on tariff changes, trade regulations, and CBP guidance

Key Skills & Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience as a customs entry writer or in a similar customs brokerage role
  • Strong working knowledge of HTS classification, valuation, and U.S. import regulations
  • Hands-on experience with ACE and a brokerage/forwarding system (CargoWise preferred)
  • Familiarity with ISF, Incoterms, and PGA filing requirements
  • Experience with ocean, air, and/or truck imports
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively across departments and with external partners
  • Customs Broker License (LCB) or progress toward it is a plus
  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required; relevant experience will be considered

What's on Offer

  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Stable, growing company with a strong reputation in the industry
  • Opportunity for professional development and licensing support
  • Collaborative team environment in a metro New York location
