Carra Globe’s Importer of Record (IOR) services handle all the complexities of customs, compliance, and duties.
We ensure your valuable IT equipment—from servers to entire data centers—arrives safely and on time, anywhere in the world.
Managing international IT shipments without an IOR solution is risky and time-consuming. Most companies don’t have a registered legal entity in every country they operate in. And even if you do, staying compliant with each country’s import laws is a full-time job
Carra Globe serves as the legal importer in over 175+ countries. We assume responsibility for your goods during the importation process, so you don’t have to set up a local entity or navigate unfamiliar regulatory frameworks.
We take care of all required documentation: import licenses, commercial invoices, packing lists, product certifications, and more. We make sure it’s accurate, complete, and submitted on time.
Avoid costly delays, fines, or confiscations. Our global logistics experts know the ins and outs of international customs. We ensure your shipment clears quickly and compliantly.
We facilitate all necessary duty and tax payments on your behalf, accurately and transparently. You get a single invoice with no hidden fees.
Time is critical, especially when deploying hardware across data centers or telecom sites. We expedite your shipments, providing real-time tracking and proactive communication.
An Importer of Record (IOR) is the legal entity responsible for ensuring that goods are imported in compliance with local laws and regulations.

Carra Globe’s IOR services are tailored to industries that rely on precision, speed, and reliability.
Many servers, telecom gear, encryption-enabled devices are subject to national control lists. We coordinate with exporters to ensure proper licensing, self‑classification per EAR99 or higher classification, and submit encryption declarations.
