- Support administration of free trade agreements (e.g., USMCA) by conducting rules of origin analyses, managing certificates of origin, and identifying duty savings opportunities
- Screen transactions against restricted and denied party lists; escalate potential violations as required
- Review and audit entry filings, customs documentation, valuation, and country-of-origin determinations for accuracy
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders, freight forwarders, and customs brokers to resolve compliance holds, discrepancies, and regulatory inquiries
- Build and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) and compliance controls; develop training materials to strengthen the organization's trade compliance posture
- Manage and communicate exam, inspection, and hold statuses internally and externally to minimize supply chain disruption
