About the role

Application deadline: Oct 30, 2026 Amazon Customs & Trade (ACT) manages US import customs clearance across multiple U.S. ports of entry for both internal and external Amazon customers. The Sr. Compliance Specialist is the primary resolution support owner for cargo detained by CBP, FDA, CPSC, EPA, and other Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) — managing each case from first notice through final resolution. You will work across a broad stakeholder set: importers of record (IORs), U.S. government agencies, examination facilities, carriers, and Amazon internal teams spanning Operations, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Origin, and Product/Tech. ACT is scaling to meet growing import volume and increasing case complexity. This role will evolve alongside the business — we are looking for someone who can adapt, take ownership across shifting priorities, and contribute beyond their immediate caseload. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential; cases routinely carry same-day response requirements with seizure, penalty, or mounting demurrage as direct financial consequence of inaction. Key job responsibilities • Manage an active caseload of CBP exam holds, PGA detentions, and other enforcement actions across assigned U.S. ports — from intake through resolution (release, re-export, destruction, or formal response) • Track and respond to CBP CF-28 and CF-29 notices within statutory deadlines; escalate approaching deadlines and elect appropriate disposition paths, including re-export, manipulation/destruction, and UFLPA exclusion proceedings • Serve as the primary government-facing customs broker point of contact — building working relationships with CBP officers, FDA district staff, CPSC analysts, EPA inspectors, and other PGA personnel • Coordinate logistics for cargo returns, CES pickup, drayage, and destruction with carriers, exam facilities, and Amazon's logistics network teams • Partner cross-functionally with CTU operations, finance, controllership, and billing on entry corrections, fee approvals, invoice reconciliation, and systemic filing issues • Draft formal agency responses, triage enforcement communications by urgency, and escalate seizure and penalty actions same business day per team SLAs • Contribute to weekly business reviews and operational reporting — port-level case status, dwell aging, hold/exam rates, and constraint callouts for leadership • Collaborate with product, tech, and I&I teams on automation and AI initiatives to improve exam resolution workflows and scale operational capacity

What we're looking for

- Experience in Trade Compliance and/or Supply Chain industry, i.e. as customs agent/officer, compliance specialist, or customs operations - Working knowledge of CBP entry types, import regulations, and PGA hold processes (CBP, FDA, CPSC, EPA, USDA/AQI) - Ability to read and interpret CBP forms (CF-28, CF-29, CF-7512, CF-3499) and federal enforcement correspondence
