Landed Cost & Customs Compliance Officer
What a unit really cost by the time it reached your shelf, and how you file when it crosses a border. The Landed Cost & Compliance FTE allocates freight, insurance, duty and brokerage across every shipment to the unit, checks origin and classification on each line, and — where the fixed cost per customs entry is being paid per parcel — proposes consolidated entries with the per-unit effect shown. Its landed costs feed the Controller, the Cash Officer and the Buyer; its compliance exceptions reach a person before a shipment does.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.
Freight, insurance, duty and brokerage allocated to every unit on the shipment; the Controller's cost updated.
Each line checked; exceptions raised with the rule and the line before they become a hold.
Where per-parcel entries pay the fixed fee each time, consolidation proposed with the per-unit effect.
Coverage and accuracy against invoices, compliance exceptions raised and resolved.
Landed Cost & Compliance reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Skills
Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.
A bounded push through past shipments so margin history is real.
Ranked causes: a duty change, a fee per entry, a currency move, a freight surcharge.
Per-parcel versus consolidated entry cost per unit with the filing change proposed for your broker.
Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.
Landed Cost & Compliance connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

Where you review its work
It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.
Proposes only
Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.
Low-risk on its own
You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.
Acts inside caps
It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.
Runs the week
Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

Custom onboarding: we scope the role with you before it starts.
Create your organization. Landed Cost & Compliance is added to your workforce from the link below.
Grant the tools it needs and confirm the targets it proposes. It never asks for what the platform already knows.
This role is scoped with our team first, then its first proposals land in Approvals.
Short answers. The docs have the long ones.
No. It allocates costs, checks classification and origin against your data, and proposes filing changes for your broker to act on.
Nothing that leaves your company. Landed Cost & Compliance proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.
Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.
Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.
Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.
Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
