Release Customs Analyst
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Intro: "Join Livingston and grow your career..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role" or "About Livingston". Could be "About the role". We'll put as About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing but we must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. However we can keep the prose as is, but we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we can keep the original sentences but we can format them into paragraphs. We must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all content except boilerplate.
We need to decide what is boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Livingston" is EEO boilerplate; we should remove that. Also "Accommodations are available..." is part of EEO; remove. Also "Job Type: Full Time Location: HomeOffice Texas" maybe not boilerplate but it's metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include location and job type in a paragraph. We need sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Key Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Knowledge & Skills? Actually Knowledge & Skills maybe Skills section), Qualifications (Work Experience – Minimum Required, EDUCATION, Certifications Description), Benefits? There's a paragraph about compensation and benefits: "We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a transparent pay philosophy..." plus salary range. That's Benefits and Pay. So we need Benefits section (maybe include benefits description) and Pay section (salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned besides maybe 24/7 operations but not explicit schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "some 24/7 operations" but not a schedule. Probably we should not create Schedule. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's gather content. Intro paragraph(s): "Join Livingston and grow your career in the constantly changing world of international trade. Livingston is a market leader offering customs brokerage, international trade consulting, compliance and freight forwarding services around the world. Livingston has over 3,000 employees at more than 90 key border crossings, sea ports, airports and other strategic locations in North America, Europe and Asia. Our fast-paced and collaborative environment offers you the opportunity to work with leaders in the industry, receive recognition for achievements and develop your expertise in the complex and evolving world of trade. Learn how you can make an impact at Livingston." That's substantive. Job Summary: "Reporting to the Manager, Service Delivery (Production Supervisor – in some US locations), this position is responsible for the timely processing, rating (some locations) and release of all client shipments (some 24/7 operations) in accordance with Livingston’s operating procedures and service standards, ensuring commitment time is met to earn the clients' complete satisfaction." That's part of responsibilities maybe. Key Duties & Responsibilities: a long list. We'll put as
- items.
We need to ensure we preserve all duties exactly as given, but we can split into list items. The original has many sentences; we can break each sentence into a list item. Must not lose any detail.
Let's extract each duty sentence:

2. Create customs entries through review, proper selection of client and client records, proper vendor and keyword selection, interpretation of documentation for all clients' shipments, in a one-step process for both high and low value shipments.
