*Data Management: Maintain clear records and supporting documentation for all HTS classifications and import activities, aiding in future audits and ensuring data integrity.
*Guidance & Support: Respond to basic classification and import inquiries from internal stakeholders and external partners, escalating complex legal or policy questions as needed.

*Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to effectively interface with engineering, procurement, logistics, and international brand partners.
*Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
*Self-starter mentality with critical thinking skills; ability to address issues and make independent decisions with limited supervision.
*BA/BS degree in International Trade, Business, Supply Chain, or a related field.
