Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Cabo Verde for telecom hardware, IT systems, construction equipment, power infrastructure, and medical devices with Remote Hands, Smart Hands, and Global Field Engineering Support.
Cabo Verde, with a population of approximately 600,000 people, is an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean that depends almost entirely on imported machinery, telecommunications equipment, electrical systems, vehicles, medical devices, and construction materials to support infrastructure, tourism, energy, and government development programs. Because the country has limited industrial production, most high-value equipment must be shipped from overseas suppliers and cleared through maritime ports before distribution across the islands.
All cargo entering Cabo Verde arrives by sea or air, mainly through Port of Praia and Port of Mindelo, while air freight is handled through Amílcar Cabral International Airport and Praia International Airport. Due to the country’s geographic location, imports typically originate from Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, China, United States, and Brazil, making compliant Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services essential for foreign vendors shipping equipment without a locally registered entity.
Because shipments from Europe, Asia-Pacific, the United States, and the Middle East must follow maritime routing and Customs approval before arrival, documentation accuracy and importer registration are required to avoid port delays.
Uproot Technologies provides Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Cabo Verde, supported by Global Field Engineering Support, Remote Hands, Smart Hands, and Data Centre Deployment to manage Customs clearance, port handling, and on-site installation of technical equipment.
Imports into Cabo Verde must comply with national Customs regulations requiring importer registration, correct HS classification, and complete documentation before cargo can be released at port or airport.
Typical compliance requirements include
• Customs declaration filing

• Packing list with technical description
• Import permits when required
• Duty and tax calculation
