Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Portugal 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 technical coordination, delivery control, and operational continuity.
Portugal is a full member of the European Union and EU Customs Union, positioned as a strategic Atlantic gateway connecting Europe, North America, Africa, and Latin America. The country plays a growing role in technology infrastructure, data centres, telecom expansion, life sciences, aerospace manufacturing, renewable energy systems, and advanced industrial operations.
Portugal operates under the EU Union Customs Code (UCC), requiring strict adherence to CE conformity, VAT compliance, accurate HS classification, and importer accountability. Shipments typically enter through Lisbon Airport, Porto Airport, Faro Airport, and major seaports such as Port of Lisbon, Port of Sines, and Port of Leixões.
For non-EU manufacturers and technology providers, acting as the Importer of Record or Exporter of Record in Portugal requires local fiscal representation, EORI registration, and regulatory responsibility. Uproot Technologies assumes this responsibility end-to-end, supported by Remote-Hands services to ensure physical coordination at data centres, laboratories, hospitals, telecom facilities, and industrial sites.
All imports and exports in Portugal are governed by Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority) under the EU Union Customs Code.
Core compliance requirements include:
• EU customs declarations
• Correct HS and TARIC classification
• Customs valuation under EU rules
• Import VAT assessment and reporting
• Duty application where applicable
• Proof of origin and trade documentation
As the Importer of Record, Uproot Technologies assumes full legal responsibility for:
• customs accuracy
• fiscal compliance
• regulatory alignment
• importer liability under EU law
This removes legal, tax, and compliance exposure for foreign suppliers operating without a Portuguese entity.
Servers, network switches, routers, telecom infrastructure, and wireless equipment require CE marking, EMC compliance, and EU radio equipment conformity where applicable.
Remote-Hands support enables controlled receipt, visual inspection coordination, and site-level delivery to telecom hubs and enterprise facilities.
Portugal imports scientific instruments, analytical systems, and research devices for universities, R&D centres, biotech firms, and energy research projects. These require technical files, CE conformity, and precise customs descriptions.
