Job Description

Position Description :

Functions :

• Gathering the daily broker files and ACE data for adds to merged reporting files to be used by Finance (pull the ACE data, confirm Buckland’s data is received, push EXL for their data, upload files to the Teams site for Finance, eventually, take this process over from Finance on the file mergers, etc.).
• Plus, this will move reporting out once a month, these resources could work on the last two weeks of the data to try to make them as complete as possible.
• Investigate the duty spikes that show in the specific week time frame for the report out meeting (like the Wednesday 12 : 30 meeting with Lynch).
• Data mining for escalations and report out and further investigation, which could be any combination of : HTS, part number, supplier, FTA, duties paid, COO, etc.
• Data mining and investigations on specific requests coming out of Sales, Purchasing, other areas and summarize findings.
• Investigate findings of the data mining for accuracy, actions that need to be taken (duty recovery, changes for broker filings, missing documentation, additional FOCUS solicitations, etc.).
• This requires multiple sources of information, broker spreadsheets, 7501 entry packages, certificates from FOCUS / Program Responses, etc. (This is very labor intensive / time consuming.)
• Post entry / duty recovery efforts; complete backlog of duty recovering filings and on-going opportunities with CBP as identified, monitor broker for actions they need to complete, work with broker on missing Enty package documentation, work through data discrepancies, coordinate meetings needed to close out investigations, etc.
• Potentially some of the “normal” post entry activity probably should roll into this since there could be multiple corrections / adjustments on a given entry and that way all the necessary corrections / adjustments are completed at the same time.
• This function would also include in the tracking of the duty refunds as they are received and making sure they are allocated back to the G / L code.
• Create periodic reporting / presentations (weekly call with PUR, etc.).
• Other activities as they are continued to be identified.
