  • Conduct denied party screenings, third-party vetting and reviews of visitors and international travel requests.
  • Work with freight forwarders and brokers to obtain and verify required documentation and ensure information has been filed correctly.
  • Analyze and interpret drawings to determine Schedule B, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and U.S. Munitions List (USML) classifications, documenting classification rationale and maintaining records.
  • Maintain import and export records in accordance with applicable Customs regulations and Ontic policies and procedures.

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of Trade Compliance experience, including preparing and submitting EAR export license applications through SNAP-R and ITAR export license applications through DECCS.
  • Strong knowledge of International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), along with knowledge of Federal Trade Regulations (FTR).
  • Foundational experience with the Automated Export System (AES) and Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing.
  • Strong knowledge of import regulations and processes.
  • A bachelor's degree is preferred; in lieu of a bachelor's degree, 5+ years of Trade Compliance experience will be considered.
  • Licensed Customs Broker credentials would be advantageous.
