Choose Freight Forwarder That Provides IOR/EOR Services
We are aware of the amount of freight forwarding options you have when choosing someone to handle your cargo’s export or import processes. Each one of them will offer you different services, at different price ranges and it’s up to you what to consider when choosing the right one to fulfill your transportation needs. However, there are a few things to take into consideration when making that decision, and today we will speak about one in particular: hire a global forwarder that can also provide you with IOR/EOR services as part of their services.
Importer of Record/Exporter of Record Services Explained
Let’s start by recapping the basic concept of IOR EOR services (Importer and Exporter of Record). An importer or exporter of record is the entity in charge of ensuring that transported goods comply with all the country’s federal import and export regulations (customs, paying fees and taxes, etc). In other words, your IOR EOR services provider will be the legal representation you need in the country you are exporting to or from, to ensure the whole process runs as smoothly as it can. You can read more about this concept and the importance of IOR EOR services in some of our older posts:

Below you can check 3 reasons why choosing a reliable freight forwarder that provides IOR EOR services, such as GCE Logistics, is the best choice for your cargo’s transportation:
1. It will save you from having to establish legal representation in the country
If you hire a freight forwarder that doesn’t offer IOR services as part of their services, you will need to either have a legal representative in the country you are exporting to or from or outsource this service. In both cases, establishing a legal entity at the country of origin or destination of your cargo to take care of all the import or export processes or outsourcing it, would mean extra costs for you. This is why hiring a company like GCE Logistics, which offers you the full package, is a smart idea. You won’t have to worry about anything and the process will happen as smooth as it can be.
