With 3+ years of experience in foreign trade, I began my career at a customs brokerage firm, where I gained solid hands-on experience in import, export, and transit customs procedures, declaration controls, HS code classification, and customs legislation compliance. Through direct coordination with customs authorities and brokers, I developed strong knowledge of regulatory processes and documentation accuracy. Following this, I continued my career within foreign trade companies, managing end-to-end import and export operations, origin documentation (ATR, EUR.1, COO), and customs-related financial obligations.

I have actively supported logistics planning, inventory reconciliation, and smooth execution of customs and shipment operations in compliance with applicable regulations.
