What is an Importer of Record (IOR)?

An IOR service provider is a legal entity responsible for managing import compliance risks. Acting as the IOR comes with significant risks that your business may prefer to avoid. That’s where a trusted IOR service provider like A.R.T.S. Qatar steps in.

The Importer of Record must have comprehensive knowledge of each destination country’s laws and customs regulations. With years of trade compliance experience and a global presence, A.R.T.S. Qatar is the ideal partner for international hardware deployment and reliable importing.

Unlike a consignee, who takes possession of goods upon arrival, the IOR service provider handles compliance documentation and assumes legal liability. While a customs broker facilitates customs brokerage, they rarely act as an IOR. Importing dual-use goods is complex, but A.R.T.S. Qatar simplifies the process, ensuring seamless first-time customs clearance.
