IMPORTER OF RECORD WHAT IS IT?
If you import goods into the U.S., you'll need an
IOR (Importer of Record) to ensure you have all
the necessities to clear customs. Each imported
consignment requires its own individual IOR to
file all necessary tax, duty, and legal
paperwork. An IOR's work is essential since it
facilitates the discovery of illegal activity and
controls the payments of import duties.

The term "Exporter of Record" (EOR) is equivalent
to "Importer of Record" (IOR), except that it
refers to international shipments. The EOR must
verify and record that export permission has
been granted. In addition, the EOR must verify
that all applicable United States export laws
are followed.
According to the Advance Authorization Scheme,
raw materials can be imported duty-free if used
in the final export product's production. Any
raw materials, finished goods, gasoline, oil, or
catalyst used in manufacturing an export product
are all fair game.
