  • Ensure proper documentation for imports, such as permits, certificates of origin, and compliance with Singapore's Goods and Services Tax (GST) requirements.
  • Monitor changes in export and import control laws, tariffs, and sanctions, advising management on potential impacts to business operations.
  • Conduct internal audits and risk assessments to ensure compliance with export and import regulations and company policies.
  • Provide training and guidance to employees on export and import compliance requirements, including documentation, record-keeping, and best practices.
  • Investigate and resolve potential compliance violations related to exports or imports, collaborating with legal and management teams to implement corrective actions.
  • Maintain accurate records of export and import transactions, ensuring retention complies with regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with supply chain, sales, procurement, and logistics teams to ensure seamless and compliant export and import processes.

Job Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Law, International Trade, Supply Chain Management, or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications (e.g., Certified Export Compliance Officer, Customs Specialist) are a plus.
    • Experience: Minimum of 5-7 years of experience in trade compliance, with specific expertise in both export and import regulations, preferably in a multinational corporation or logistics/trading firm.
      • Regulatory Knowledge:
        • In-depth understanding of Singapore's Strategic Goods (Control) Act and its implementation for exports and imports.
        • Familiarity with U.S. EAR, ITAR, and OFAC sanctions programs.
        • Knowledge of Singapore Customs regulations, including import permits, tariffs, and GST compliance.
        • Understanding of international trade agreements and regimes (e.g., EU, ASEAN FTAs, Wassenaar Arrangement) is an advantage.
        • Other Skills:
          • Proficiency in export/import classification (e.g., ECCN, HS codes) and licensing processes.
          • Strong analytical skills for interpreting complex regulatory requirements and tariff schedules.
          • Excellent communication and training skills to engage with diverse stakeholders.
          • Detail-oriented with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving compliance risks.
