• Prepare and submit import and export customs declarations in-house or in collaboration with customs brokers, ensuring accuracy and compliance with applicable regulations. Manage communication with local customs authorities and internal compliance teams to facilitate efficient customs clearance and the timely resolution of customs-related issues.
• Monitor transport performance and proactively resolve issues such as delays, demurrage, detention, and other operational disruptions.
• Maintain accurate shipping and customs documentation and follow up on discrepancies or corrective actions when needed.
