An Importer of Record is a person or entity responsible for ensuring that imported goods comply with customs regulations, handling documentation, and paying applicable duties and taxes. They facilitate smooth import processes and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
The Importer of Record can be the buyer, seller, or designated party responsible for customs compliance and documentation during the import process.
The Importer of Record does not own the goods. It ensures compliance with customs regulations, documentation, and legally importing goods into a specific country, it acts as the official entity accountable for fulfilling customs requirements on behalf of the owner or consignee of the goods. It primarily focuses on managing the import process and ensuring adherence to relevant laws and regulations rather than owning the goods themselves.
The main difference between an Importer of Record and an Exporter of Record (EOR) lies in their roles and responsibilities. The IOR services actively manages customs compliance and documentation for importing goods into a country. In contrast, the EOR services actively handles customs requirements and documentation for exporting goods out of a country. The IOR focuses on imports, ensuring legal compliance and facilitating the smooth movement of goods across international borders. Similarly, the EOR concentrates on exports, actively ensuring compliance and facilitating the efficient exportation of goods.
On a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipment, the Importer of Record is typically the seller or the party actively responsible for arranging and covering all import duties, taxes, and customs clearance for the goods being delivered
