Aspire Jobs are working exclusively with our client, who are a well-established global distributor. Due to a recent promotion, they are now looking for an additional member to join their Customs team.

This role will see you having some administration experience with a lot of copy and pasting, looking for information and inputting information. You don't need any previous customs/import or export experience although if you do this is a bonus!

The successful Customs Administrator will:-

• Have some previous administration experience
• Have good Excel skills
• Be IT literate
• Be willing to learn
• Have good attention to detail with an eye for detail
• Shipping & Customs experience is beneficial but not essential

This role encompasses all aspects relating to customs clearance and the inward processing of goods procured from overseas

Whilst the role will be quite basic to start off with, after training and over time you will work towards a more specialist customs role, so you must be prepared to learn.

There is a lot of compliance in this role so if you have worked in a compliance/regulated environment then so much the better, but again it's not essential.
