Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Ukraine 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 support for on-ground coordination, controlled handling, and site-level execution.
Ukraine remains a strategically important technology, manufacturing, and research economy in Eastern Europe, despite ongoing conflict conditions. The country continues to operate functioning customs regimes, commercial corridors, and industrial zones; especially through western transit gateways in Lviv, Uzhhorod, Chop, and Polish border crossings.
Most international cargo now enters Ukraine via air into Poland or Slovakia, followed by controlled road transit into western Ukraine, or via sea routes to Constanța, Romania, then onward by land to Ukraine. Limited direct air cargo may arrive at Kyiv Boryspil Airport when operational windows allow.
All imports fall under the State Customs Service of Ukraine, requiring formal customs clearance, VAT payment, accurate HS classification, licensing where applicable, and clear designation of a legally accountable Importer of Record.
Uproot Technologies enables compliant, predictable equipment movement into Ukraine by acting as IOR/EOR, combined with Remote-Hands services for physical coordination, secure delivery, and technical site support.
