A reseller’s worst nightmare involves their expensive assets going missing, or being confiscated at the border of a country that has either challenging policies, or disorganized systems where global distributions are concerned. With little to no control over the transaction process at customs, those leasing dual use or controlled use goods (such as computer technologies) often choose to avoid reselling internationally. This however can stunt their business growth and prevent them from forming lucrative relationships with clients overseas. Rather than forgoing doing business globally, resellers simply need an expert entity to help their equipment along.
TecEx is an Importer of Record that specializes in the distribution of IT equipment. With expertise regarding customs laws in over 120 countries, they can not only compliantly clear shipments but do so quickly irrespective of complicated regulations each individual country may have. In addition to taking responsibility for packages once they arrive at the border, they also help their clients with a complex preapproval process. They help them gather all the necessary customs support documentation like commercial invoices, freight delivery waybills, permits, certificates and licences, and they work to ensure they’re filled out correctly. The company’s swiftness guarantees preapproval within 1-3 business days and full clearance 3-7 business days thereafter enabling clients to give those they’re working with overseas an accurate time of arrival.
This global importer of record also works to recover import taxes for their clients from over 40 of the countries with which they hold a point of presence, including heavy value-added tax that often gets imposed on technologies. Once, paying this tax was considered a necessary part of doing business internationally; it can now be returned to the client within 6 months, saving them costs.
Another way they remove pain point from the process is through their hands-on service; once equipment is cleared and forms filed, they liaise with their clients’ preferred freight service or forwarder, seeing the equipment reaches proper hands. They even offer their own courier services if need be. Throughout the process, reselling entities can also track their shipments in real time using a convenient online portal; they can also communicate with a client services executive through this portal should they have any special requests. Finally, this importer only charges the landed-cost quote which gives reselling companies security in knowing quotes are quotes irrespective of any last-minute changes made to the receiving country’s legislature.
With a full-proof solution to what can become a frustrating undertaking, resellers can create relationships with clients internationally without worrying about something unexpected happening or something going wrong that can potentially drain their funds or put their assets in harm’s way. They can continue to create a name and reputation for themselves globally, tapping into markets that others have not reached out to yet. Choosing to partner with a strong and capable importer, with the knowledge and experience resellers lack, can in fact bridge a gap that’s been left unattended for far too long in the industry.
