As a Customs Executive (Road), you will play a vital role in our Central Customs Team.

- Support GVMS, inventory-linked border processes, and manage movements using CargoWise, Descartes Pentant, Destin8, and CNS.
- Oversee and discharge T1 transit movements (NCTS, Common Transit procedures, and MOTIS operations).
- Validate commercial invoices and supporting documents, calculate customs duty/VAT, raise customer invoices, and complete post-entry amendments or reclaims.
- Support commodity code classifications, answer customer and internal queries promptly, build strong relationships across carriers and teams, and drive continuous improvement within the team.
What You’ll Need
Essential
- Hands-on experience processing customs declarations in a freight forwarding, logistics, or customs environment.
- Solid knowledge of UK import customs procedures, documentation, and GVMS.
- Experience with NCTS, Common Transit procedures, and MOTIS operations.
- Hands-on experience using CargoWise (or similar customs/freight management software).
- Strong understanding of customs duty, VAT, and commodity classification principles.
- Excellent organisational skills, keen attention to detail, and top-tier customer service skills.
Desirable
- Specialised road freight customs experience highly preferred.
- Professional customs qualification (e.g. BIFA or UK Customs Academy).
