Road Import Customs Operator
Location: Stanford Le Hope
Full-Time | Permanent
Do you live and breathe customs? Love the buzz of international trade and the satisfaction of getting things right, down to the smallest detail?
A1 Personnel is on the hunt for a Customs-savvy Import Operator ready to make their mark at one of the UKs most advanced logistics hubs.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isnt your average customs desk job. Youll be at the epicentre of global trade, steering complex imports through regulatory waters with skill and accuracy. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-responsibility environment this is the role for you.
Youll be joining a forward-thinking Customs team that values precision, growth, and teamwork. Every day brings new challenges, new products, and new victories.
What Youll Be Doing
Submitting import declarations across various Customs Procedure Codes (CPCs) using ASM Sequoia
Filing Safety & Security declarations directly with HMRC
Collaborating with HMRC to resolve holds, queries, or compliance issues
Conducting post-entry checks, reclaims, and processing amendments
Supporting monthly P&L reporting
Contributing to key customs projects alongside the Customs Manager
Upholding high standards of compliance and health & safety
What Youll Need
Must-Haves:
Solid hands-on experience in customs brokerage (CDS/CHIEF)
Familiarity with ASM Sequoia or similar customs software
Great understanding of HMRC Tariff classifications and import regulations
Experience with port community systems like CNS and Destin8
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
Strong IT skills (Word, Excel, and confident across platforms)
An eye for detail so sharp it could spot a typo from 10 miles away
Bonus Points For:
A full UK driving licence (our site is best accessed by car)
Experience with CFSP/Simplified Declarations (not essential, but great to have!)
Why Join This Team?
Be part of a business where international trade and compliance go hand in hand
Work in a modern logistics centre with best-in-class systems and tools
Gain exposure to a huge variety of goods, industries, and customs challenges
Make a tangible impact your work keeps global trade flowing
Join a team that values professional development, collaboration, and innovation
