There’s no one-size-fits-all formula in the intricate world of cross-border shipping of IT equipment. Imagine each case as a unique puzzle, and we’re the puzzle solvers. We recently had an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) client with a cross-border shipment that was anything but ordinary.
Our client, the OEM, stepped onto the scene with a request that raised eyebrows – and challenges. They had a shipment that was no simple run-of-the-mill affair. It was a complex movement that required some serious puzzle-solving skills.
With high-value demo equipment on its way to Europe, this wasn’t your everyday shipment. It had a twist. The equipment wasn’t on a one-way ticket. After a certain period, a decision had to be made – either bring it back home or let it stay in the destination country.
Additionally, they wanted to ship the equipment and defer the taxes and duties until the home of the goods was finalized. This required an entity to stand liable for the total amount if the goods were imported permanently, where TecEx first stepped up.
So, how do you plan logistics when standing at a crossroads of return and purchase? Our team armed with compliance expertise and a penchant for problem-solving. The uncertainty, the intricacies – they were like the pieces of a complex jigsaw puzzle. Each compliance step was like fitting a piece into place, one after the other. Import, export, regulations – we meticulously navigated each twist and turn.
TecEx expertly handled all the complexities of this shipment, putting ourselves down as the entity responsible for paying all taxes and duties and taking on all risks. We also managed all paperwork requirements seamlessly.
As a result, instead of making a significant upfront payment, our client paid a minor percentage of the duties and monthly taxes for the duration the goods remained in the country: a fraction of the total importation cost.
Ultimately, what was a puzzle of uncertainty turned into a masterpiece of strategy and execution. Our client’s unique situation required a tailor-made solution.
At TecEx, we understand that your business is as unique. That’s why our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s tailored to fit your specific requirements.
