Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Kosovo 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 coordination, controlled handling, and operational execution.
Kosovo is an emerging logistics and technology entry point in the Western Balkans, supporting expanding telecommunications networks, digital infrastructure projects, healthcare modernization, research institutions, and cross-border technology deployments serving Southeast Europe.
Imports into Kosovo typically arrive via Pristina International Airport, supported by road corridors connecting Kosovo with Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. As Kosovo is not a member of the European Union, all imports and exports require independent customs clearance, local fiscal handling, and a formally designated Importer of Record or Exporter of Record.
Uproot Technologies enables compliant and predictable equipment movement into and out of Kosovo by assuming full IOR/EOR responsibility, managing customs formalities, fiscal exposure, and shipment execution, while providing Remote-Hands support for physical coordination at delivery sites, data rooms, labs, hospitals, and industrial facilities.
All imports and exports in Kosovo are regulated by Kosovo Customs, operating under national customs legislation aligned with international trade frameworks but outside EU Customs Union rules.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Accurate customs declarations
• Correct HS code classification
• Declared customs value and origin
• Import duties and VAT assessment
• Formal designation of Importer of Record or Exporter of Record
