Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in the Isle of Man for IT and Telecommunications Equipment, Laboratory and Research Systems, Data Centre Hardware, Semiconductor Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace Components, and Industrial High-Value Hardware, reinforced by Remote-Hands for on-site coordination, secure handling, and operational continuity.
The Isle of Man sits between the UK and Ireland as a specialized offshore business hub for fintech, digital infrastructure, aerospace testing, and high-value engineering. Although not part of the EU customs territory, it operates a distinct customs regime closely aligned with the UK while remaining within the UK VAT area under a bilateral agreement.
Shipments typically arrive via Ronaldsway Airport (IOM) or the Port of Douglas, where clearance requires accurate classification, controlled documentation, VAT alignment with HMRC rules, and a legally designated Importer of Record or Exporter of Record.
Uproot Technologies assumes full IOR/EOR responsibility in the Isle of Man, pairing regulatory compliance with Remote-Hands for physical receiving, inspection coordination, site logistics, and secure equipment handover.
All imports and exports are overseen by Isle of Man Customs and Excise, working in parallel with UK customs principles. Key requirements include:
• Correct HS classification
• Accurate customs valuation
• VAT treatment under the UK VAT area framework
