Global IOR & Logistics

Importer of Record, customs clearance, and international IT logistics for data center hardware. Our partner network resolves the trade compliance, tax, and import-license requirements that block global deployments across 40+ countries.

Importer of Record services are the most common point of failure in global data center deployments. Most enterprises do not have legal entities in the countries where they need to deploy, and IT hardware faces complex import classifications, dual-use export controls, encryption regulations, and country-specific licensing requirements. GlobalEdge resolves these challenges through an established global partner network, handling IOR responsibilities as standard project scope rather than an escalation.

Step 2

Secure collection

Assets collected with chain-of-custody documentation initiated at pickup, including serialized tracking and tamper-evident transport.

Step 1

Inventory and scoping

We capture the asset list, destruction requirements, regulatory considerations, and value recovery objectives for the engagement.
