Your precision, analytical mindset, and regulatory knowledge will directly support our financial performance and global supply chain success.

Your

Core Responsibilities
  • Customs Reporting & Oversight — Retrieve and analyze customs reports from the ACES (U.S.) and CARM (Canada) portals to maintain full visibility into import/export activity.
  • Import/Export Audits — Conduct weekly audits to verify billing accuracy, prevent unnecessary charges, and resolve discrepancies quickly.
  • HTS Code Governance — Review and optimize HTS classifications for U.S. imports, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and cost savings—especially for new products.
  • Tariff Compliance Leadership — Monitor Chapter 9903 tariffs, exemptions, Section 232 applicability, and evolving IEEPA/Section 301 regulations. Communicate risks and regulatory changes to internal stakeholders.
  • EDI & HTS File Management — Maintain master HTS files for EDI with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to ensure clean, accurate data flow.
  • Invoice Accuracy & Optimization — Validate commercial invoices for correct descriptions, values, tariff designations, exemptions, and HTS assignments.
  • Financial Insight — Deliver timely tariff‑related cost reporting to the CFO to support budgeting and strategic planning.
  • Product & Tariff Review — Audit new products for correct HTS codes and track tariff changes that impact cost and compliance.
  • Global Sourcing Support — Identify optimal regional tariffs to guide strategic sourcing and drive cost efficiencies.
  • Tariff Disputes & Protests — Identify overcharges, file post‑entry corrections, and maintain precise documentation to minimize risk.
  • USMCA Management — Oversee USMCA data and issue annual Certificates of Origin.
  • Canadian Tariff Drawback — Plan and execute annual drawback processes to recover eligible duties.
  • Broker Relationship Management — Build strong partnerships with customs brokers to ensure efficient, compliant clearance.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, International Business, Logistics, or related field—or equivalent experience.
  • Certifications such as CCS, CIS, or a U.S. Customs Broker License are highly desirable.
  • Experience in global sourcing, trade compliance, or customs operations, ideally in a multinational environment.
  • Strong understanding of U.S. and Canadian customs regulations, tariffs, and trade agreements (including USMCA).
  • Proven ability to manage customs documentation, tariff protests, and post‑entry corrections.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with Canadian tariff drawback processes and customs brokerage management is a plus.
  • Automotive industry experience preferred.
