Importing IT Equipment Into the USA
Establishing hidden charges, fulfilling customs requirements, and ensuring compliance are the leading challenges when importing IT equipment into the USA. This is especially when utilising a private courier service.
Because the three processes can lead to extra costs that outweigh the benefits of the importation. But does that make it impossible to successfully import IT equipment into the US?
Not when you have an importer of record such as Blackthorne as an option.
Let’s discuss how you can cut costs and ensure compliance when importing technology devices into the USA.
Understand IT Equipment Regulations in the USA
A wide range of IT equipment is restricted under the US import controls due to data protection and privacy concerns. And if your equipment is restricted, you must establish its import requirements and ensure compliance before and after shipping.
Blackthorne has over 25 years of experience working with IT companies across the US border. As such, we can help navigate import requirements and ensure compliance and customs clearance for a timely delivery.
Eliminate Hidden Fees within the Global logistics
When you choose direct import over an IOR for your shipment, you need high-level coordination between the service providers for a timely customs clearance.
Otherwise, you incur additional costs (besides customs duties and excise tax), including storage charges or penalties. Even worse, your goods can be detained due to non-compliance.
As a one-stop-shop IOR, we coordinate the entire global supply chain processes, from navigating tariffs and duties, to logistics management. You can count on us for a door-to-door delivery with minimal costs.

Ensure Long-Term Import Compliance with Record Keeping
A successful delivery of your equipment isn’t the end of compliance. You need to comply with new regulations, renew your permits or licences (when necessary), and facilitate future import transaction audits.
Blackthorne keeps your transaction records for the minimum required duration to ensure continued compliance. We also stay ahead of regulatory requirements to ensure compliance with new regulations.
