Frequently Asked Questions
Importer of Record services help coordinate the legal and compliance responsibilities associated with importing goods into a destination country. The exact responsibilities depend on the service arrangement and applicable regulations.
The answer depends on the importer’s legal status, the type of goods, and the proposed import arrangement. Using an IOR service does not automatically exempt a business from Indian registration or licensing requirements. Confirm the applicable structure before shipping.
An Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is generally required for importing goods into India unless a specific exemption applies. Additional registrations or product-specific approvals may also be necessary. Requirements should be checked for the importer and goods involved.
The timeline depends on the product category, completeness of documentation, customs procedures, duty payments, and any required approvals. Reviewing these requirements before dispatch can help reduce avoidable delays.
