What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a logistics company where I can clear imports/exports accurately, strengthen customs documentation quality, and ensure regulatory compliance—helping deliver on-time, efficient operations for clients.

I’m a Customs Clearance Agent with 2 years of experience in customs compliance and documentation, and I’m known for clearing goods accurately for clients while keeping operations running smoothly. I bring strong organisational and communication skills, especially when deadlines demand fast, correct decisions.

In my most recent role as an import broker at UPS (East Midlands Airport), I classified goods using the tariff coding system and examined product information to ensure regulatory compliance. I prepared and processed import and export documentation in line with customs regulations and procedures, including preferential or nonreferential trade, incoterms, waivers, and special procedures like IPR, OPR, and Warehouse Returns.

I also managed the practical side of shipments—requesting and compiling key documents (customs invoices, certificates of origin, cargo-control documents) and arranging payment of taxes and duties on shipments. I cleared goods through customs to their destinations for clients, and I handled CDS/CHIFF compliance while troubleshooting error codes caused by data discrepancies (like incoterms, freight value, deferment account, EORI, quantities, and tariff identification).

Beyond customs, I’ve built a dependable work ethic across other operational roles, including stock control and food production. I’m now eager to leverage my customs operation expertise to drive success at a leading logistics company, with a focus on accuracy, compliance, and reliable workflow.
