Job description

We're hiring: Senior Customs Clearance Specialist | Mexico City (CDMX)

A senior hands‑on role, not a management position — no direct reports and no team‑lead experience needed. We're looking for customs depth, not a people manager.

BSI Group is looking for a seasoned customs practitioner to run import/export clearance across air (AICM), ocean and land, working with broker partners at Manzanillo, Veracruz, Altamira and Nuevo Laredo.

What you’ll handle

• Prepare, validate and release pedimentos end to end; resolve reconocimiento aduanero, detentions, PAMA and rectificaciones
• Apply Ley Aduanera, RGCE / Anexo 22, TIGIE-NICO, valuation, T-MEC origin and RRNA / NOM permits on live files
• Work directly with agencias aduanales; check COVE / EDOCUMENT, IGI / IVA / DTA, fees and supporting documents
• Be the technical go-to on complex files: classification, permits, landed cost and SAT / AGA review documentation

What we need

• 4+ years of hands‑on customs clearance / foreign trade (forwarder, 3PL, NVOCC, importer or agencia aduanal) — no management experience required
• Day‑to‑day command of pedimentos, VUCEM, RGCE / Anexo 22, TIGIE-NICO, valuation, T-MEC, RRNA and rectificaciones; IMMEX / PROSEC / Regla 8ª / NEEC-OEA a strong plus
• Spanish fluent + professional English; degree in International Trade, Customs, Logistics, Law or Accounting

Preferred: previous experience at an agencia aduanal / customs brokerage (agente or apoderado aduanal, pedimento or classification team). A plus, not a requirement — equivalent forwarder or importer-side experience is equally welcome.
