Customs Entry Writer

US Trade Logistics, a comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions company headquartered in St. Paul, is looking for a part-time remote Entry Writer. This position would be working together with US Trade Logistics’ Licensed Customs Broker to assist importers in clearing their import shipments through US Customs. This position would also be the backup to the Remote Warehouse Manager. Although this position is remote, applicants must live within the greater Brainerd Lakes MN area in order to receive adequate oversight and training if a position is offered.

This position involves:

1. Data Entry
2. Communication with Customers, Foreign Vendors, Shipping Agents and Government Agencies
3. Preparation and Transmittal of Importer Security Filings to US Customs

4. Preparation and Transmittal of Entry Summaries and Cargo Releases to US Customs

5. Preparation of Customized Reports for Customers

6. Remote Warehouse Management of incoming and outgoing shipments.

There is the possibility of eventually transitioning to full-time in the future. No prior experience is required, as all training will be provided, but applicants with the following qualities and skills are desired:

1. Attention to Detail

2. Highly Organized

3. Personal and Professional Integrity

4. Strong Desire to Learn

5. Good Time Management / Task Prioritization Skills

6. Good Written and Oral Communications Skills

7. Problem Solving Skills

8. Computer Skills: Word, Excel, Outlook

9. Good Work Ethic

10. Once Trained, Must Possess the Ability to Work Independently from Home

11. Flexible Personality (while certain tasks need to be performed every day, each day often brings different challenges to be addressed)

12. Schedule Flexibility (some scheduled evening and weekend “on-call” time is necessary, but the time requirement is usually negligible)

13. Team Player (the ability to get along and work cooperatively with others, even if interaction is largely remote)

US Trade Logistics is a service disabled veteran owned small business. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome all qualified applicants. Please submit a resume and cover letter detailing your availability
