As with most countries, an Importer of Record (IOR) is needed to import dual-use goods to Albania compliantly.
Precise classification of tech gear is vital for complying with import/export controls and adhering to Albanian customs regulations. Any mistakes in classification can result in major delays and fines. TecEx’s extensive compliance database of HS codes ensures accurate categorization for all components, guaranteeing your equipment is properly identified.
Among the other import documents required to import tech goods to Albania, you may be required to specify the Country of Origin for products originating from certain Asian countries. Your IOR will be able to help with this.
While Albania is not part of the EU, the country does participate in the multilateral trade pact, Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), with neighbors North Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo. Like other FTAs, it facilitates smoother trade by eliminating barriers among member nations. Despite this, it’s important to remember that in order to navigate customs clearance, you’ll require a locally registered entity to serve as the IOR.
