Job Snapshot

Job Description

You’ve written thousands of entries. Now get a schedule that respects that.

Most senior entry writers hit the same wall: they’re expected in the office five days a week, they cover everyone else’s mistakes, and their 10+ years of ACE experience goes unnoticed. This role is different.

An established customs brokerage and freight forwarding firm in Plainfield, NJ is hiring a seasoned US Customs Entry Writer & Air Import Coordinator. They want an expert who takes pride in getting it right the first time. You’ll be in the office Mondays plus one more day, and you’ll work from home the rest of the week.

What’s in it for you

  • $75,000–$90,000 base, based on experience
  • Hybrid schedule: 2 days in office, 3 days remote, every week
  • Health insurance, paid time off and paid holidays
  • Retirement plan with company match
  • A team that values accuracy and experience, where you’re treated as the expert

What you’ll own

  • Preparing and transmitting customs entries in ACE, from cargo release through entry summary
  • Reviewing commercial invoices, packing lists and bills of lading
  • Verifying HTS classification, country of origin, declared value and duties
  • Making sure every entry meets CBP regulations, entry requirements and filing deadlines
  • Preparing supporting documents for PGA requirements (FDA, USDA APHIS, EPA, FCC)
  • Responding to CBP CF-28 and CF-29 requests
  • Keeping accurate records according to US Customs requirements
  • Coordinating air import shipments, using your knowledge of both air and ocean import procedures
  • Working with clients, importers, carriers and other parties to resolve documentation issues and clear freight on time
  • Managing multiple entries and deadlines while giving excellent customer service
  • Working independently, and with internal teams, to process entries accurately and on time

What you bring

  • 10+ years in a customs house brokerage environment
  • 10+ years of hands-on US Customs entry writing in ACE
  • Strong command of HTS classification, CBP entry types, import procedures and customs regulations
  • Working knowledge of international and domestic freight forwarding
  • Familiarity with air and ocean ports and their import documentation requirements
  • Sharp attention to detail and the ability to meet strict filing deadlines
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong computer skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
