As a Customs Executive (Sea), you will play a vital role in our Central Customs Team.

Monitor declarations, resolve customs holds and documentary discrepancies, and handle internal and customer queries promptly.
Support commodity code classification (CPCs) and compliance activities, build effective relationships across carriers and internal teams, and contribute to continuous improvement within the team.

What You’ll Need:

Essential

Hands-on experience processing customs declarations in a freight forwarding, logistics, or customs environment.
Strong understanding of UK import customs procedures (CPCs) and documentation.
Hands-on experience using CargoWise (or similar customs/freight management software).
Solid understanding of customs duty, import VAT, commodity classification, and customs valuation principles.
Excellent organisational skills, high attention to detail, strong time management, and top-tier customer service skills.
Ability to prioritise workloads and work effectively in a fast-paced operational environment.
