Customs Verifier

Most weeks tend to involve document review across many active shipments — commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, entry summaries — comparing them line-by-line against what was filed and what the cargo actually is. You might find yourself toggling between paperwork and the broker's system to reconcile a $40 discrepancy that has tax implications. Output shows up in entries verified, errors corrected, and audit-ready files.

What's harder than people expect is how much can go wrong in a single shipment — a wrong country of origin, a missed FTA claim, a misstated quantity. Variance across employers is real: at brokerage houses the volume is high and the cadence is daily; at corporate trade compliance teams the work tilts toward audit and process improvement.

People who tend to thrive here have a forensic patience for paperwork and an eye for the line that doesn't add up. CCS or industry-specific credentials anchor the senior path. The trade-off is invisibility when things go right and the high visibility when an entry triggers a Customs question.
