Customs Compliance Officer

A Customs Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring that organisations and individuals comply with customs laws and regulations when importing or exporting goods. This involves preparing and checking documentation, assessing shipments for compliance with UK and international standards, and sometimes investigating potential breaches. Officers may work at ports, airports, or within businesses that trade internationally. The role is detail-oriented and requires a good understanding of trade laws, tariffs, and security requirements. Strong communication and analytical skills are important, as is the ability to work with both government and commercial stakeholders.
