Exporting IT equipment involves a maze of regulatory and logistical challenges. Carra Globe’s Exporter of Record (EOR) service acts as your legal exporter, managing all aspects of export compliance, customs clearance, and documentation.
The Exporter of Record definition is straightforward yet critical: the Exporter of Record (EOR) is the legal entity responsible for ensuring that goods are properly documented, licensed, and compliant with all export regulations when leaving a country.In global trade, the EOR meaning in trade centers on full accountability for lawful export, covering classification, licensing, customs declarations, and regulatory compliance.If there is no qualified EOR, international shipments risk being fined, seized, or delayed indefinitely. Explain the role of Exporter of Record.
IT equipment often contains encryption, controlled technologies, dual‑use parts, or components requiring export licenses. A single misstep can lead to severe penalties or blocked shipments.
Harmonized System (HS) codes for servers, telecom hardware, printed circuit boards, power supplies, or embedded chips must be accurately declared. Misclassification may delay shipments or trigger audits.
Regulations differ between jurisdictions—USA’s EAR/ITAR, EU export control regulations, UK Control List, Africa’s export licensing regime, and even destination‑country import compliance.
Determining origin rules of components, handling free trade agreements (FTA), preference documentation (e.g. Certificates of Origin), and navigating bonded warehouses all require expertise.
By acting as your Exporter of Record, Carra Globe assumes full legal liability as the exporter on customs paperwork. That means your team is freed from complex regulatory oversight, while you remain in full control of commercial decisions. We take care of the rest.

Exporter of Record (EOR): Carra Globe is legally responsible for export compliance, but you remain the owner and deal with the customer.
Importer of Record (IOR): A partner is legally responsible for import compliance in the destination country.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP): The seller arranges logistics and pays duties/taxes, but control and ownership transfer differ. Carra Globe can coordinate with your IOR or act in parallel.
Yes, but only if the company has a legal entity registered in the export country and possesses the necessary compliance expertise, licenses, and regulatory approvals. Otherwise, a third-party EOR is required.

Licensing timelines vary:
U.S. EAR license requests usually take 2–6 weeks,
EU dual‑use licenses 1–3 months, and
Rush processing or rolling licenses may be possible.
We have experience navigating refurbished IT hardware exports, battery‑powered devices, device sanitation standards, environmental and hazardous waste rules (WEEE). We assist with obtaining import permits, conducting testing, and coordinating customs for these goods.
We have a global network and licensing presence spanning key IT export hubs— USA, EU / UK, UAE / GCC, and select Asian and African markets. We partner with established customs brokers and freight providers to ensure seamless clearance worldwide.
An EOR specialized in ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and EAR (Export Administration Regulations) ensures proper licensing, maintains audit records, and prevents unauthorized exports of controlled items.
Suppose the EOR misclassifies goods, fails to obtain licenses, or violates export laws. In such cases, penalties may include fines, seizure of shipments, legal prosecution, and loss of export privileges, both for the EOR and, in some instances, the shipper.
