What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in customs entry clerk jobs.
- Experience preparing and submitting CBP entry summaries and import documentation
- Proficiency with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) portal
- Knowledge of Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification
- High school diploma or equivalent required, associate or bachelor's degree preferred
- Familiarity with import compliance regulations and customs bond requirements
- Strong data entry accuracy and attention to detail under time-sensitive conditions
Tips for Your Customs Entry Clerk Job Search
Tailor your resume to HTS codes
Customs entry clerks who list specific Harmonized Tariff Schedule experience get more callbacks than those who write 'tariff classification' generically. Name the HTS chapters you've worked with and the commodity types you've classified to stand out immediately.
Highlight your ACE portal experience
Many job listings screen for hands-on use of CBP's Automated Commercial Environment portal. Call it out by name on your resume, noting the transaction types you've processed, whether that's ISF filings, entry summaries, or protest submissions.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists customs entry clerk openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target brokers with your bond specialty
Customs brokerages vary by specialty, covering ocean, air, or truck freight. When searching, filter for employers whose freight mode matches your background, since your familiarity with mode-specific documentation is a concrete differentiator that generalist applicants can't match.
Prepare for a document accuracy test
Many customs brokerage interviews include a timed exercise where you review an entry summary or commercial invoice for errors. Practice spotting mismatched HTS codes, incorrect country-of-origin designations, and valuation discrepancies before your interview so you're not doing it cold.
Negotiate around your license status
If you're a licensed customs broker or actively sitting for the exam, that credential changes your negotiating position significantly. Bring it up during the offer stage, not just the application, and ask how the role's responsibilities and compensation differ for licensed versus unlicensed staff.
Customs Entry Clerk Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most customs entry clerks?
The companies hiring the most customs entry clerks right now include Amazon, GHY International, and Traffic Tech, with the largest share of openings in Illinois, California, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Freight forwarders and licensed customs brokerages consistently account for the largest portion of open roles.
How many customs entry clerk jobs are remote?
About 55% of customs entry clerk openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the document-heavy, system-based nature of much of the work. Roles focused on data entry, entry summary preparation, and compliance review tend to be the most remote-eligible, while positions requiring in-person coordination with port staff or warehouse teams are typically on-site.
How do you become a customs entry clerk?
Start by building familiarity with CBP import procedures, HTS classification basics, and commercial documentation such as bills of lading and commercial invoices. Many entry-level clerks come from freight forwarding or logistics backgrounds. Earning a customs broker license, even as a long-term goal, strengthens your candidacy significantly. Some employers train new hires on ACE and internal systems, so demonstrating attention to detail and data accuracy in your resume and interview goes a long way.
Can you get hired as a customs entry clerk with little or no experience?
Yes, some customs brokerages and freight forwarders hire entry-level clerks and train them on ACE, entry preparation, and HTS classification internally. Your strongest asset without direct experience is demonstrating accuracy and comfort with high-volume data entry. A background in logistics, supply chain coursework, or even a completed customs broker exam study program signals genuine interest and can substitute for years of hands-on work.
What does the customs entry clerk interview process look like?
Most interviews include a phone or video screen followed by one or two in-person or video rounds with a hiring manager or compliance lead. Expect questions about your documentation experience, how you handle deadlines, and how you catch errors under pressure. Some employers include a practical exercise, such as reviewing a sample entry summary for classification or valuation mistakes, so reviewing common entry types beforehand is a smart move.
Where can I find and apply to customs entry clerk jobs?
You can find and apply to customs entry clerk jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and freight specialty, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and location preferences.
