Customs Specialist, Global Supply Chain

At Axis Communications we are passionate about delivering solutions for a smarter and safer world!
Axis success is largely built on highly skilled staff and our strong culture of openness, togetherness, and innovative mindset where individuals have opportunity to take responsibility and grow.
The Trade Compliance team enable Axis to import and export products worldwide, always adhering to laws and regulations and striving to minimize import and export costs.
We are now looking for a Customs Specialist to join our team at our head quarter in Lund, Sweden.
Come join our team and contribute to a smarter and safter world!

Who is your future team?
We are a high performing diverse team consisting of ten skilled persons with different age, gender, nationality, knowledge, and background. The combination makes us strong and add flavor and joy to our workplace.

Some persons focus on Export Compliance, ensuring that Axis comply with export control regulations worldwide and that our high-tech products are not supplied to restricted countries, parties, or users.
Other persons focus on Customs Compliance, securing that import and export activities are performed in a compliant and efficient manner and customs costs are minimized. Your focus will be on Customs Compliance.

What you will do as Customs Specialist:
You will secure that import and export activities are performed in a compliant and efficient manner. In some countries we handle the import and export process ourselves (in-house) and in some markets we are using customs brokers. This means that you in some cases will act as advisor and review that the imports and exports are done properly and in other cases you will carry out the import and export process yourself. Another important task is to spread knowledge about import and export rules and regulations to stakeholders within Axis, for them to take conscious decisions to be compliant and to minimize customs duty costs. You will work closely with a lot of internal and external stakeholders such as Sales, Sourcing, Material Supply, Purchase, Logistics, Distribution, Forwarders, Customs Brokers, Chamber of Commerce and Customs Authorities.

As a Customs specialist you will be involved in:

* Import and export activities
* HS classification of products
* Apply for BTI (Binding tariff information)
* Determine Country of Origin of products
* Act as center of expertise for customs topics and actively contribute to problem solving and root cause analysis
* Identify and drive improvement activities related to tools, processes, and ways of working
* Contribute in cross functional projects
* Lead meetings and present information in larger groups

Who are you?
We believe that you are an analytical person with a strong personal drive and problem-solving skills. You are curious, actively searching for new information and want to develop and learn new things. You have a positive mindset and are a team player but also thrive working independently, planning and managing your own activities. You like to take responsibility and have good organizational skills as well as ability to see both the details and the big picture - making the right priorities. You easily co-operate across organizational borders, build strong collaboration and long-lasting relations with key stakeholders. You are of course passionate about Customs and Supply Chain. You wish to contribute and interact on a global level and be a part of an ambitious team where we make things happen!

We'd love to hear that you have/are:

* Education within Customs and International Trade
* Minimum five years' experience working within Customs and International Trade positions
* Experience from working in an international organization
* Experience working in an ERP system, preferably IFS or similar
* Very good knowledge in Excel, Access, and Macro
* Project leading experience
* Fluent in English, both written and verbally

What Axis have to offer:
Axis is a fast growing and exciting company, already the world leader in our main field - network video. You will work in an international organization with an open minded and innovative culture where people are enthusiastic and taking pride in what we do.

Working with us gives you an excellent opportunity to develop in an organization that values creativity, empower people to take responsibility and promote professional and individual growth.
