Why Is It Important To Have An IOR?Â
 An IOR, who also acts as the official buyer, takes over all formal duties linked to the import process. One of their major jobs is to ensure that they follow the trade and customs rules of the country they are entering. This means properly filling out import reports, talking to customs officials, and paying any import taxes, fees, or duties that are due. Â
They need to keep up with changes to trade laws and ensure that their processes and records comply with the latest rules. As the ones responsible for ensuring that all laws and rules are followed, importers of record also play a big role in ensuring that imported equipment is safe and of good quality.Â
It’s important to pick an IOR who knows a lot about the country and industry from which your business is importing. Look for an IOR that has completed import procedures in the past and knows how to deal with customs officials in the right country. Â
