10+ years of hands-on import operations experience.
Who I am
I am an Independent Import Operations Professional with more than a decade of hands-on experience managing end-to-end import activities, particularly for pharmaceutical raw materials and excipients.
My work involves dealing directly with overseas suppliers, coordinating shipments and documents, and keeping finance, quality, regulatory, logistics, and warehouse teams aligned. I bring that operational experience to businesses that need reliable support but do not need another full-time hire.
You communicate with me, agree the scope with me, and I personally handle the work.
What I do
I bring 10+ years of hands-on import operations experience to the commercial and operational work behind every shipment.
This is not just follow-up assistance. I can support the buying decision, negotiate with suppliers, calculate the true import cost, and coordinate the process through to delivery.
Identify and evaluate suitable overseas suppliers, compare product and commercial options, and support supplier selection based on quality, reliability, lead time, and total cost.
Engage suppliers on pricing, payment terms, MOQs, lead times, and other commercial conditions to improve the buying position—not simply collect quotations.
Coordinate the import cycle from purchase order and supplier confirmation through production follow-up, shipping documents, freight, clearance coordination, and delivery.
Build shipment-level cost visibility by consolidating product value, freight, insurance, duties, taxes, clearing, and other applicable import expenses.
Review proforma invoices, commercial invoices, packing lists, and shipping documents; identify discrepancies and coordinate corrections with suppliers and internal teams.
Maintain follow-up discipline across overseas suppliers, forwarders, clearing agents, banks, and internal departments so deadlines, pending actions, and shipment risks stay visible.
You get direct access to the experience of the person doing the work—with clear ownership from supplier discussions to shipment follow-through.
