As your Importer of Record, we’ll handle all the paperwork and red tape, so you can focus on growing your business.

The IOR is Your Trusted Partner in Taiwan

Think of an IOR as your customs agent. They’re the ones who deal with all the red tape, so you don’t have to. They’ll make sure your shipments get through customs without a hitch, so you can focus on the bigger picture.

  • Compliance Champion: Taiwan boasts an open trade environment, with over 95% of import categories free from restrictions. However, certain items require permits or are completely banned. An IOR ensures your products comply with all regulations, saving you time and potential headaches.
  • Duty & Tax Expertise: Understanding import duties and taxes can be tricky. With average nominal tariff rates at 6.34%, knowing the specifics can significantly impact your bottom line. An IOR helps classify your goods accurately, calculates applicable duties and taxes, and facilitates smooth payment.
  • DDP Shipments Made Easy: Aiming for Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipments? An IOR takes care of everything – customs clearance, duties, taxes, and delivery to your designated location. This simplifies your import process and streamlines budgeting.

Unlocking VAT Benefits in Taiwan

Taiwan offers VAT recovery opportunities for registered importers. Here’s how an Importer Of Record Service can help you maximize these benefits:

  • VAT Registration Support: Don’t have a Taiwanese entity? No problem. Your IOR can assist with registering for VAT, a crucial step for claiming input tax credits.
  • Streamlined VAT Recovery: Managing VAT paperwork can be time-consuming. An IOR can streamline the process, ensuring you file accurate claims and recover eligible input tax credits efficiently.
  • Single Point of Clearance: With an IOR, you have a single point of contact for all your VAT needs, from registration to recovery. This simplifies communication and ensures you never miss a crucial step.
