Importer and Exporter of Record for Cloud Computing Technology
Making it simple to import and export hardware for cloud computing and data storage
We’re a trusted Importer and Exporter of Record (IOR and EOR) for information technology used for cloud computing.
Storing data on a remote cloud has rapidly become the norm for both individuals and businesses - with many companies developing their own cloud solutions or utilising the infrastructure offered by leading data centres and cloud providers.
As it is used to store data, the technology required for cloud computing is highly regulated and the process of crossing international borders can be complex. Errors when importing can inflate costs and delay cloud operations.
Those delivering cloud services may require:
- CPUs and GPUs
- Servers
- Racks, switches and storage arrays
Those adopting cloud storage may require:
- Smartphones and tablets
- Laptops and desktops
- Data storage and infrastructure
We handle the import/export of all this hardware and more - enabling end users and suppliers to rapidly benefit from the cloud technology they need.

The rising need for cloud technology compliance
The external or ‘cloud’ storage of data is now the norm for many business and individuals.
From data storage to AI-processing, the demands on cloud technology are high. With the large quantities of secure data being stored, cloud technology and hardware is increasingly regulated to protect its use.
- Timely, secure and compliant import and export is vital.
- Some of the critical challenges which face those importing cloud technology, include:
- Many recipients of hardware are unable to act as the importer
- Cloud technology is highly regulated to avoid compromising data
- Hardware classified as dual-use can trigger extra compliance
- Duty regimes and documentation can be complex between countries
- International demand for cloud technology is high, making it critical to secure and import technology quickly
Import restrictions, licensing requirements and regulatory oversight can vary significantly between territories and delays can threaten projects and operations.
Whether establishing a new solution or expanding an existing cloud, we ensure the quick and smooth importation of cloud technology.
