- Prepare and check commercial invoices, packing lists, and other shipping documentation. Work with suppliers, customs brokers, and internal specialists to address customs questions and support timely clearance.
- Manage day-to-day coordination with third-party logistics providers (3PLs), including receiving, storage, outbound shipments, and resolving inventory or delivery discrepancies.
