Enrika Naujokė is co-founder and director of CustomsClear and Editor-in-Chief of the Customs Compliance & Risk Management (CCRM) journal. She built CustomsClear around a simple conviction: however far technology advances, customs and trade compliance decisions - and the responsibility for them - will always rest with a person. Her aim is that practitioners do not face those decisions alone and can stand behind them with confidence.
CustomsClear brings together articles and videos from more than 200 contributing experts, together with AI assistants that help practitioners find fast, defensible answers to customs and trade compliance questions, traced back to the underlying legislation.
A certified customs broker, Ms Naujokė has worked across logistics, customs brokerage and manufacturing, including as an in-house customs supervisor. Her work covers tariff classification, customs valuation, origin, prohibitions and restrictions, sanctions and export controls, and the EU Customs Reform.
Since 2012 she has edited Customs Law for Practitioners, a monthly publication for Lithuanian customs practitioners, and has been Editor-in-Chief of the CCRM journal since 2020. She also contributes articles to WCO News and the Global Trade and Customs Journal, particularly on customs knowledge and professional standards.
Ms Naujokė is co-founder and director of the Lithuanian Customs Practitioners Association, which has trained more than 400 customs brokers, and sits on the Lithuanian Customs Consultative Committee. She follows EU rule-making through EUROPRO, CONFIAD and CLECAT and takes part in the European Commission's Trade Contact Group. She also serves on the committee of the 'Customs Process Management' MBA programme at Vytautas Magnus University.
