• Maintain trade compliance procedures, SOPs, work instructions, audit files, and recordkeeping documentation supporting import and export compliance and internal controls.
• Partner with Finance, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Manufacturing, Logistics, Legal, and other teams to resolve customs holds, product-data gaps, documentation requests, tariff recovery matters, and other trade compliance issues.
• Support broker performance reviews, entry accuracy monitoring, duty-spend analysis, tariff exposure tracking, corrective actions, dashboards, metrics, and management reporting.
• Use SAP GTS, SAP, Glovia, ACE, broker portals, ERP reporting, and other systems to research trade data, monitor transactions, support audit readiness, and identify process improvement opportunities.
• Support special customs programs including FTZ, bonded warehouse, drawback, reconciliation, duty recovery, temporary imports, repairs and returns, and other applicable programs.
