What is an Exporter of Record?

Similar to an Importer of Record (IOR), the EOR is the entity responsible for ensuring that the export of goods out of the country follows the necessary compliance requirements and legal regulations. This includes everything from classifying the required ECCN to ensuring export compliance documents are sourced. The EOR can act as the temporary owner of the goods during the customs clearance process before it is received by the consignee.

EOR Responsibilities and Value-Adds

An EOR has the same levels of responsibility as the IOR. It is all about ensuring the compliant exportation of the gear through the country’s customs process. This also includes export declarations, export licenses and permits, and accurate descriptions and valuations of the hardware. Any mistakes or errors can result in stuck shipments and financial and legal penalties. An EOR service provider like TecEx guarantees you’ll meet export requirements, making customs clearance achievable.

Secures export clearance for your goods in line with export regulations.

Is accountable for the release of the goods.

Maintains EOR documentation for any audit.

How to Get IT Hardware Out of the UK

UK Exporter of Record Solution

Struggling to get your gear out of the UK and into your EU office? Our UK EOR solution was born out of the Brexit pain point, allowing our clients to compliantly export their gear from the United Kingdom and reach their final destination.

Shouldering the risk of acting as the EOR, TecEx is the only entity that will remain liable to the UK customs authorities. With this, we take care of the reporting, document retention, inspection, compliance visits, and audits for up to seven years following the export.

UK EOR Value-Adds

TecEx holds a special Open Individual Export License (OIEL) that allows for the export of most controlled products out of the UK.

Should this not be appropriate for your shipment, TecEx will apply for a Standard Individual Export License (SIEL). This will involve a lead time (~20 working days), but we will handle all the paperwork and administration involved.

Frequently Asked Export Questions

Why is an Exporter of Record required?

An exporter of record is used by an individual or a business that lacks experience exporting out a certain destination. The exporting process can be complex, so an EOR service is ideal for those who want to avoid taking on the responsibility and risks involved. Using a third party such as TecEx ensures that any pitfalls are avoided during export transactions and that any financial and legal consequences are not attributed to the company should things go wrong.

Can a freight forwarder be the Exporter of Record?

In most cases, forwarding agents cannot act as the Exporter of Record as they do not possess compliance licenses. Furthermore, they often lack the resources or experience to act as such. For controlled goods, export licenses are required, and strict customs laws must be adhered to. This is why most freight forwarders do not offer EOR services. Let us handle the export compliance while they move your goods.
