IOR EOR DDP Services in Kuwait – End-to-End Import Solutions
Importing goods into Kuwait can be a complex process, especially for international companies with no local presence. That’s where IOR (Importer of Record), EOR (Exporter of Record), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) services become essential. At TTL, we provide comprehensive IOR/EOR/DDP services that simplify cross-border trade, ensuring full compliance with Kuwaiti customs regulations and seamless delivery to your final destination.
What is IOR (Importer of Record)?
The Importer of Record is the entity responsible for ensuring all goods entering Kuwait comply with local laws, duties, and taxes. If you are shipping to Kuwait but don’t have a legal entity registered in the country, TTL can act as your IOR, handling all customs clearance on your behalf.
What is EOR (Exporter of Record)?
The Exporter of Record is responsible for legal compliance when shipping goods from the origin country. TTL offers EOR services from the UAE, Europe, China, and the U.S., ensuring your cargo leaves the origin with proper documentation and export declarations.
What is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)?
DDP is an Incoterm where the seller is responsible for delivering goods to the buyer’s location with all duties and taxes paid. TTL manages DDP shipments to Kuwait from A to Z, covering freight, customs, VAT, and last-mile delivery.
