  • Checking customs entries following goods departure and address anomalies (with reference to site Trade Compliance lead)
  • Addressing any anomalies identified (with reference to site Trade Compliance lead)
  • Notifying business of import clearance conditions
  • Develop an understanding of the Customs Declaration Service (CDS)
  • Preparation of data packs relating to import and export transactions in readiness for internal and external audits, ensuring packs are recorded on company systems in accordance with company procedures
  • Assisting with the preparation of reports for submission to UK authorities (such as Deferment reports and export licence transparency reports)
  • Assisting with processing and reconciling Freight Forwarder invoices
What You'll Bring
  • Experience supporting multiple stakeholders or customers, with the ability to prioritise workload and manage competing demands effectively
  • A self‑motivated approach with high personal work standards and strong attention to detail

  • A high level of professionalism, with the confidence to interact with senior managers and external organisations
  • The ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and integrity
  • A keen willingness to learn and develop knowledge in import/export processes and trade compliance within Leonardo UK
