Export Specialist | ClearFreight

Freight doesn’t move itself, and export shipments don’t clear themselves. At ClearFreight, our Export Specialists keep cargo moving from the U.S. to destinations worldwide: booking it, documenting it, keeping it compliant, and keeping customers in the loop the whole way. If you know your way around an EEI filing and stay calm when a carrier rolls a booking, we want to talk to you.

What you’ll own

• Shipment coordination: Book and manage international shipments by ocean, air, and land, keeping schedules on track and customer requirements met.
• Documentation: Prepare and review export docs, including Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Bills of Lading, Certificates of Origin, and EEI filings through AES.
• Compliance: Keep every shipment in line with U.S. export regulations, every time.
• Carrier and vendor relationships: Work directly with ocean carriers, airlines, customs brokers, and truckers to secure space and execute to the customer’s plan.
• Customer communication: Give proactive status updates, fix export issues fast, and be the person clients trust to have answers.
• Risk management: Spot delays, customs holds, and compliance risks early, and handle them before they become problems.
• Billing and cost control: Verify freight invoices, make sure costs land in the right place, and help resolve disputes.
• Collaboration: Partner with sales, pricing, and warehouse teams so the whole operation runs smoothly.
• Process improvement: See a better way to do it? Say so. We want your ideas for tightening workflows and improving the customer experience.
