Customs Specialist - Import & Classification

What we’re looking for

As we scale production, every component we import has to clear customs correctly, quickly and with a clean paper trail. You own customs compliance for our imports – from tariff classification and origin to audit readiness – and build the processes that let us grow without slowing down.

The day-to-day

• Own customs compliance for all imports, with a focus on tariff classification, origin and customs valuation
• Classify goods in the customs tariff and keep the related master data in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central accurate
• Check customs values, origin, preferences and accompanying documents before goods are cleared
• Steer customs agents, freight forwarders and other external partners, and act as our contact for the customs authorities
• Advise colleagues in procurement, logistics and engineering on customs questions
• Prepare customs audits and keep our documentation complete and audit-proof
• Act as key user for customs and foreign trade in our ERP and drive the digitalization of these processes

You should apply if you

• Have completed vocational training in foreign trade, freight forwarding or logistics (or a comparable qualification), ideally with an additional customs qualification
• Have several years of customs experience focused on import, origin and tariff classification
• Know customs valuation and rules of origin in depth and classify goods confidently
• Work confidently with ATLAS and have dealt directly with customs authorities, forwarders and customs agents
• Fluent (C1) German and English skills
• Like building processes from scratch, work independently and stay thorough when things move fast

Nice to haves

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
• Knowledge of export control (dual-use goods, AWG/AWV, BAFA)
• Experience with AEO status or customs simplifications
• A background in aerospace, defense or manufacturing
• You enjoy sharing knowledge and training colleagues
