Senior Customs Brokerage Entry Writer

A typical week often involves complex entry preparation, agency follow-up, importer consultation, and the steady cadence of senior review — classifying difficult cargo, preparing entries for regulated commodities (FDA, USDA, EPA), filing post-summary corrections, fielding senior questions from agency personnel. You're often the senior entry-writing voice when shipments require careful interpretation. Entries cleared on time and accuracy under audit are the operating measures.

The harder part is often the multi-agency PGA complexity — many shipments require coordination across CBP and partner government agencies, each with their own holds and clearance pathways. Variance across employers is wide: at large brokerage houses the senior entry writer specializes in trade lanes or commodities; at smaller brokers you handle more variety.

This role rewards people who are deeply tariff-fluent, fast on entry-software platforms, and patient with regulatory text. Licensed Customs Broker, CCS, and PGA-specific training anchor seniority. The trade-off is the time-zone pressure of cargo that doesn't pause and the personal accountability that comes with the broker license.
