Job Description & Summary
About us:
Our team is the leading provider of customs, excise and international trade expertise in the Irish market. Our clients cover a very broad range of sectors including chemical, industrial, retail, pharmaceutical, agriculture, food and beverage processing, healthcare, software and technology companies operating all over the world.
What we do:
It is a very exciting time in the area of Global Trade and Customs. Globally Governments are moving towards indirect taxation as a source of revenue, trade disputes and trade wars continue to upset supply chains all while our clients are changing the way they deliver their products and services to their customers.
What does this role offer?
On-going trade wars, the introduction of new free trade agreements, export licensing and sanctions are just some of the issues that impact upon global trade and are affecting the ability of our clients to move their products and services across international borders in a timely and cost efficient manner. If our clients are moving goods or providing software across an international border then our team is who they work with. We focus on ensuring that the product continues to be commercially competitive despite the ever evolving global trade environment and increases to the customs duty rate of certain products.
In addition, you will work closely in supporting clients to ensure no legal or even criminal issues arise for their organisations through the export of ‘dual-use’ items. This is particularly relevant in the Irish economy for those ‘tech’ companies who export highly encrypted software.
