Import of Record & Customs Compliance
Importer of Record Services
Many marketplaces and jurisdictions require a locally registered Importer of Record before goods can legally enter the country. Without one, your shipments will be refused entry at the border, leaving inventory stranded and sales targets unmet. We provide IOR services across the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, and other major e-commerce markets. Our team manages the entire import process - from pre-shipment documentation review through to customs clearance and delivery confirmation. We maintain all required licenses and registrations in each jurisdiction, and we ensure that every import transaction is fully documented for audit purposes. This service is especially valuable for sellers who are expanding into new geographies and need a compliant import pathway established quickly without forming a local legal entity.
Customs Classification & Duty Management
Incorrect customs classification is one of the most common causes of shipment delays and unexpected cost overruns in cross-border trade. Our specialists assign accurate HS codes to every product in your catalog based on detailed analysis of product composition, function, and intended use. We calculate duty rates, identify applicable trade agreements or preferential tariff programs that could reduce your landed costs, and prepare customs declarations that withstand scrutiny from border authorities. Our duty management service also includes post-entry audits to verify that historical shipments were classified correctly, recovering overpaid duties where discrepancies are found.
Trade Documentation & Record Keeping
International trade compliance demands meticulous documentation. Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, bills of lading, and regulatory permits must all be accurate, consistent, and readily available for inspection. Our team prepares and reviews every document in your trade compliance file, ensuring that all information aligns across documents and meets the formatting requirements of each destination country. We maintain a centralized compliance archive for all your import transactions, giving you instant access to records needed for audits, marketplace compliance checks, or regulatory inquiries. This systematic approach to record keeping protects you from penalties associated with incomplete or inaccurate trade documentation.
Product Compliance & Safety Certification
FSSAI Certification for Food Products
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India requires FSSAI certification for all food products manufactured, stored, distributed, or sold within India. This certification covers a broad range of product categories including packaged foods, dietary supplements, health supplements, nutraceuticals, and food additives. Our team manages the complete FSSAI certification process, starting with product category assessment and license type determination. We prepare all required documentation including product formulation details, manufacturing process descriptions, laboratory test reports, and labeling compliance reviews. We handle the application submission through the FSSAI portal, respond to authority queries, and track your application through to certificate issuance. For sellers importing food products into India for sale on marketplaces like Amazon.in or Flipkart, FSSAI certification is a non-negotiable requirement, and our specialists ensure your products meet every standard without delay.
MOCRA Registration for Cosmetics
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act represents a significant expansion of FDA oversight for cosmetic products sold in the United States. Under MOCRA, cosmetic manufacturers and distributors must register their facilities, list their products, and report serious adverse events. Our compliance team handles MOCRA registration from start to finish, including facility registration, product listing with the FDA, and establishment of adverse event reporting procedures. We review your product labels for compliance with updated ingredient disclosure requirements and ensure that your safety substantiation documentation meets FDA expectations. For international sellers shipping cosmetics into the US market, MOCRA compliance is now mandatory, and enforcement is accelerating. Our team helps you establish compliant processes before your products attract regulatory scrutiny.
EU GPSR & Regional Regulatory Frameworks
EU Responsible Person Designation
Under GPSR, products sold on EU marketplaces must have an EU-based responsible person whose name and contact details appear on the product or its packaging. This responsible person must maintain technical documentation, cooperate with market surveillance authorities, and take corrective action when products present safety risks. We provide EU responsible person services that fulfill these regulatory obligations on your behalf. Our team maintains your technical files, responds to authority requests, and monitors product safety alerts relevant to your categories. This service enables non-EU sellers to maintain full market access across all 27 EU member states without establishing their own European entity.
Technical Documentation & Risk Assessment
GPSR requires manufacturers and importers to maintain technical documentation that demonstrates product safety. This includes risk assessments, test reports, design specifications, manufacturing quality records, and traceability information. Our compliance team prepares comprehensive technical files tailored to your product categories, ensuring every document meets the detailed requirements set out in the regulation. We conduct product risk assessments that identify potential hazards, evaluate risk levels, and document the measures taken to eliminate or mitigate those risks. These technical files serve as your primary evidence of compliance during marketplace audits or market surveillance inspections.
Multi-Regional Compliance Coordination
Selling across multiple regions means juggling different safety standards, labeling languages, marking requirements, and regulatory authorities simultaneously. Our multi-regional compliance service coordinates all of these obligations through a single point of contact. We map your product catalog against the regulatory requirements of every target market, identify overlapping standards that allow you to consolidate testing where possible, and manage market-specific requirements that demand separate documentation or certification. This coordinated approach reduces total compliance costs, eliminates duplicative testing, and ensures consistent regulatory coverage across your entire geographic footprint. Whether you are selling in the US, EU, UK, India, Japan, or the Middle East, our team ensures every product meets every requirement in every market.
Global Marketplace Regulatory Requirements
Amazon Compliance Documentation
Amazon's compliance documentation requirements span product safety certifications, regulatory approvals, chemical substance declarations, and labeling attestations. Each product category has its own set of required documents, and the acceptable formats, content standards, and submission methods differ across Amazon's global marketplaces. Our team maintains a comprehensive database of Amazon's compliance requirements by category and marketplace, ensuring that your submissions always include the correct documentation. We prepare compliance packages that include test reports from Amazon-recognized laboratories, certificates of conformity, declarations of compliance, and supplier attestation letters. When Amazon issues a Product Compliance Request, we respond within the specified deadline with documentation that addresses every point raised in the request.
Multi-Marketplace Compliance Management
Selling on multiple marketplaces multiplies your compliance obligations, as each platform enforces its own policies in addition to government regulations. We manage compliance across Amazon US, Amazon EU, Walmart Marketplace, eBay, Noon, Flipkart, and other platforms through a unified tracking system. Our team monitors every marketplace for policy changes, new documentation requirements, and compliance enforcement campaigns that could affect your listings. We maintain a compliance status dashboard for your entire product catalog across every marketplace, flagging items that need attention before they are suppressed. This centralized approach to multi-marketplace compliance prevents the fragmented, reactive responses that lead to prolonged listing downtime and lost revenue.
Proactive Compliance Audits & Remediation
Waiting for marketplace compliance requests or regulatory inquiries is a costly strategy. Our proactive compliance audit service reviews your entire product portfolio against current regulatory and marketplace requirements on a scheduled basis. We identify documentation gaps, expired certifications, and emerging regulatory risks before they trigger enforcement actions. For each issue identified, our team provides a clear remediation plan with priorities, timelines, and action owners. We also conduct pre-launch compliance reviews for new products, ensuring that all required certifications, test reports, and marketplace documentation are in place before your first unit ships. This preventive approach keeps your catalog fully compliant and your sales uninterrupted across every market and marketplace where you operate.
