International Freight

• Manage international LCL and FCL ocean freight shipments.
• Coordinate with factories, freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, and warehouses.
• Request and compare international freight quotes.
• Review shipment schedules and shipping documentation.
• Track shipments from factory pickup through final delivery.
• Manage delays, port issues, and changes to shipment schedules.

Customs Clearance

• Coordinate customs clearance with brokers and freight forwarders.
• Review commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and other import documentation.
• Work with HTS classifications and customs documentation.
• Coordinate duties, tariffs, and clearance requirements.
• Resolve customs holds, documentation issues, and clearance delays.

Required Experience
