About AeroAva

AeroAva Shipping LLP is a Mumbai-based freight forwarding and customs clearance company handling import and export cargo by sea and air. With offices at Carnac Bunder and the Air Sahar Cargo Terminal in Andheri, and operations infrastructure at Nhava Sheva (JNPT), we manage shipments end to end: freight quotes and bookings, documentation, customs clearance and delivery.

The role

You will own consignments end to end: from the first client enquiry and freight quotation, through documentation and customs clearance, to final delivery. You will handle sea freight through Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mumbai Port, and air freight through Mumbai Air Cargo (Sahar). You report directly to the CEO.

- Prepare and check import and export documents: invoice, packing list, checklist, shipping bill, bill of entry, BL, AWB and certificate of origin.
- File and track entries on ICEGATE, and manage assessment, examination, duty payment, LEO and out of charge.
- Liaise with customs officers, CFSs, terminals, shipping lines (DO, container movement), airlines and ground handlers to clear cargo on time.
- Log every enquiry, quote and shipment in Zoho CRM, reply to clients promptly and follow up until each job is closed.
- Run several shipments in parallel and flag delays, demurrage or detention risk and document gaps early.
- Send the CEO a daily status update on all live jobs.
