Navigating global trade involves two critical roles: the Importer of Record (IOR) and the Exporter of Record (EOR). Essential for logistics and compliance, these functions have distinct duties. Uproot Technologies leverages its comprehensive knowledge in global trade compliance to highlight how these roles differ and their importance.
An Importer of Record ensures that imports comply with the destination country's legal requirements, covering:
Local Law Compliance: The IOR checks that imports meet all destination country regulations, including customs, safety, and duties.
Documentation: The IOR manages necessary paperwork for customs clearance, like invoices and permits.
Duties and Taxes: The IOR is responsible for paying all applicable charges to legalise the entry of goods.
In contrast, the Exporter of Record handles the legal requirements for exporting goods, including:
Regulatory Adherence: The EOR ensures exports follow home country and international laws.
Export Paperwork: The EOR prepares and submits all documentation needed for exporting.
Security Measures: The EOR secures the goods, complying with export control laws to prevent unauthorised exports.
The main distinction lies in their focus areas—the IOR ensures imports comply with destination laws, while the EOR handles export regulations.
In the global economy, these roles prevent trade disruptions and ensure legal compliance, crucial for smooth business operations.
