Like many nations, Vanuatu mandates a registered Importer of Record (IOR) for the compliant importation of dual-use tech goods. Given Vanuatu’s remote setting and limited infrastructure, importers may encounter difficulties in securing dependable shipping carriers and navigating customs clearance procedures. Fortunately, with TecEx’s tailored expertise and trustworthy freight partners, you can ship your tech gear without hassle and with peace of mind.
Importing tech gear into Vanuatu comes with a relatively high import duty rate, potentially elevating overall costs. However, your IOR can help you accurately calculate these expenses.
While Vanuatu actively engages in regional meetings and negotiations with the EU through the EPA, having a locally registered entity as your IOR remains essential for navigating customs and ensuring smooth clearance of your goods.
