Importer of Record and Exporter of Record services for IT and Telecommunications; Laboratory and Research Equipment; Data Centre Hardware; Semiconductor Equipment; Medical Technology; Aerospace Components; and Industrial Hardware in Estonia; supported by Uproot’s Remote-Hands capability for on-ground technical coordination.
Estonia is globally recognised for its digital infrastructure, technology-driven governance, advanced telecom networks, and rapidly expanding data-centre ecosystem. The country serves as a regional base for cloud platforms, software development, cybersecurity operations, electronics engineering, and applied research.
These sectors depend heavily on imported servers, networking equipment, laboratory instruments, semiconductor testing tools, medical devices, aerospace components, and specialised industrial hardware that must comply with Estonian Customs rules and European Union technical regulations.
Primary air-cargo entry points such as Tallinn Airport handle high-value and time-sensitive equipment arriving for data centres, research facilities, telecom sites, and technology campuses. These shipments require accurate customs declarations, CE-aligned documentation, VAT processing, and strict classification discipline.
Uproot Technologies manages the complete IOR and EOR responsibility for Estonia, enabling companies to move regulated and technical equipment without establishing a local legal entity. Remote-Hands support extends this capability by providing on-site operational assistance once the shipment clears customs.
Uproot Technologies assumes full Importer of Record and Exporter of Record responsibility under Estonian Tax and Customs Board (Maksu- ja Tolliamet) requirements and the EU Customs Code. Estonia’s digital economy places strong emphasis on compliance accuracy, traceability, and technical documentation for imported equipment.
Our teams manage customs entries, CE conformity files, technical documentation, product descriptions, valuation data, and VAT handling for shipments routed through Estonia’s air-freight gateways.
Remote-Hands services function as a physical extension of the import process, supporting equipment reception, internal movement, basic handling tasks, and site coordination at data centres, labs, and telecom locations.
Imports into Estonia must comply with:
• Estonian Customs clearance procedures
• EU Customs Code requirements
