What does an import/export clerk do? What does their professional activity look like?

Import/export clerks work in trading, industrial and logistics companies that maintain international trade relations. Together with foreign trade specialists, they handle administrative subtasks relating to the actual processing of export and cross-trade transactions.

In concrete terms, this means, for example:

  • Check orders and enter them in the system
  • plan the execution of the order and create an order confirmation
  • Clarify the possible securing of claims on the part of the buyer and seller
  • Clarify exchange rate risks
  • issue commercial documents
  • obtain shipping documents and apply for export and import permits
  • Sending payment requests and checking incoming payments
  • Administrative theses
