Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Iceland for IT and Telecommunications Equipment, Laboratory and Research Systems, Data Centre Hardware, Semiconductor Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace Components, and Industrial High-Value Hardware, supported by Remote-Hands services for on-ground execution and technical coordination.
Iceland operates outside the European Union but is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), making its import and export framework technically aligned with EU product standards while remaining customs-independent. This structure creates frequent compliance gaps for foreign manufacturers shipping regulated or high-value equipment into the country.
Iceland relies heavily on imported technology infrastructure, telecommunications systems, scientific equipment, data centre hardware, and medical technology, driven by its advanced digital economy, renewable-energy-powered data centres, healthcare sector, and research institutions.
Inbound shipments primarily enter through Keflavík International Airport and Port of Reykjavík, where customs clearance requires accurate valuation, Icelandic VAT handling, conformity documentation, and a locally accountable Importer of Record or Exporter of Record.
Uproot Technologies enables compliant, controlled, and execution-ready movement of equipment into and out of Iceland by assuming full IOR/EOR responsibility, supported by Remote-Hands services for physical handling, coordination, and site-level support across Iceland.
All imports and exports in Iceland are governed by Iceland Customs (Skatturinn) under Icelandic customs law, aligned with EEA trade principles but not covered by EU Customs Union rules.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Mandatory customs declarations
• Correct HS code classification
• Accurate customs valuation in ISK
• Import VAT assessment
• Country-of-origin disclosure
• Product conformity verification
As the Importer of Record, Uproot Technologies assumes full legal responsibility for customs accuracy, fiscal obligations, and regulatory compliance, eliminating exposure for foreign manufacturers and project owners.
Network hardware, servers, switches, routers, and telecom systems entering Iceland must comply with EEA CE standards, EMC requirements, and Icelandic customs valuation rules.
Remote-Hands support assists with receipt verification, equipment handling, and on-site coordination.
Scientific instruments, analytical devices, and research systems imported for universities and research facilities require CE conformity, technical documentation, and precise product classification.
Remote-Hands services support controlled delivery and site handover.
Iceland hosts multiple energy-efficient data centre operations powered by renewable energy. Servers, storage systems, racks, and power equipment require strict valuation accuracy and technical documentation.
Remote-Hands support enables rack positioning, staging coordination, and deployment readiness.
Test instruments, inspection systems, and electronics measurement tools require detailed technical files and controlled handling.
Uproot provides IOR/EOR oversight with Remote-Hands execution for sensitive equipment.
Diagnostic systems, imaging equipment, and clinical devices must comply with EEA medical device regulations, CE marking, and Icelandic health controls.
Remote-Hands support assists with deliveries to healthcare facilities.
Specialized components and industrial control systems require precise HS classification and documentation discipline.
