Customs Broker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last several years helping businesses navigate import and export processes, and I’ve seen how a clear clearance path can save time and avoid delays. In my current role I’ve coordinated all steps from tariff classification to biosecurity checklists, and I’ve managed the documentation pack for around 200 shipments a quarter. I keep processes straightforward and focus on the practical details that keep goods moving. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because of its emphasis on accurate classification, compliance, and practical advisory support for customers. My experience spans customs clearance, tariff classification, duties calculations, and coordinating permits and licences. I’m comfortable explaining complex rules in plain terms and I routinely align activities with evolving international trade regulations to minimise hold ups at the border. There was a project last year where I helped a mid-size importer switch to a more efficient paperwork workflow. By normalising the documentation and providing proactive advisory notes, we reduced the average clearance time by three days and significantly decreased post-clearance queries. I also partnered with the logistics team to verify biosecurity requirements early, which prevented a costlier rework later in the chain. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience to talk through how my background could fit [Company Name]. I’m happy to provide examples of prior work and references from [Previous Company] if helpful. Kind regards, [Your Name]
