• Supporting the wider customs team with accurate and efficient clearance of time-sensitive shipments

• Strong experience preparing import and export declarations
• Good knowledge of UK and EU customs regulations post-Brexit
• Knowledge of customs procedure codes and duty requirements
• Experience with CDS and other UK customs systems
• Experience with ASM Sequoia / CONEX
• Knowledge of CFSP and Transit procedures would be highly advantageous
• A proactive approach and the ability to resolve customs issues quickly and accurately

Week 1: 07:00 - 16:00
Week 2: 08:30 - 17:30
