Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Clearance Representative supports the customs clearance of international shipments by preparing and checking commercial documents, coordinating with customs authorities, monitoring shipment status, and resolving clearance issues with customers and internal teams. Candidates typically need a college degree or relevant logistics experience, good knowledge of import and export procedures, strong attention to detail, and competent written and spoken English. Familiarity with Philippine customs regulations, brokerage systems, and Microsoft Office is advantageous. The role requires accuracy, sound judgment, customer-service skills, and the ability to manage deadlines in a fast-paced transport environment. Candidates are expected to follow compliance procedures, communicate clearly, protect shipment information, and work effectively with operations, customers, and government agencies.
Can I work in the Philippines?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit route with the local-first test; ports and trucks-for-hire also need proof that no Filipino is available; warehouse and driver jobs go to Filipinos.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Country and regional manager posts at global carriers and couriers are the realistic foreign hires.
