U.S. Market Entry

Helping Businesses Successfully Enter the U.S. Market

Not every business importing products into the United States has the same operational structure or regulatory responsibilities. However, many organizations—particularly those without an established U.S. importing entity—may require an Importer of Record (IOR) solution to support compliant import operations.

An Importer of Record (IOR) plays an important role in helping ensure imported products are accompanied by the appropriate documentation and that applicable regulatory requirements are addressed throughout the import process.

At IORServices.pro, a specialized division of Consultare Inc. Group, we work with businesses worldwide to help determine whether an Importer of Record solution is appropriate for their import strategy and regulatory obligations.

Organizations That May Need an Importer of Record

Businesses located outside the United States frequently require an Importer of Record to support customs entry and regulatory obligations when shipping products into the U.S. market. Our services are designed to assist organizations seeking a compliant and efficient importing solution.

International Manufacturers

Expanding Into the United States?

Foreign manufacturers expanding into the United States often supply distributors, retailers, foodservice operators, online sellers, and other commercial buyers without establishing a U.S. legal entity. An Importer of Record arrangement can simplify import operations while helping satisfy applicable regulatory responsibilities.

Our Importer of Record services support manufacturers entering the U.S. market with greater confidence.

Importer of Record services help simplify cross-border transactions while supporting compliant market access.

Foreign Brand Owners

International brand owners commonly outsource production to contract facilities or strategic manufacturing partners. When introducing products into the United States, they often require support with import documentation, regulatory coordination, and communication throughout the import process.

Private Label Manufacturers

Companies manufacturing products under another organization's brand often need assistance understanding U.S. import expectations before goods are exported. We help evaluate documentation, identify compliance considerations, and provide regulatory guidance that supports a smoother import process.

Trading Companies

Businesses coordinating products from numerous suppliers and multiple countries often manage diverse regulatory obligations across their portfolio. Our team helps develop consistent import compliance procedures, improve documentation management, and simplify coordination throughout the supplier network.

U.S. Startups & New Importers

Companies bringing products into the United States for the first time often encounter unfamiliar import regulations. Whether introducing food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, or private label products, early planning helps establish a stronger compliance foundation before shipments reach a U.S. port of entry.

E-Commerce Businesses

Online merchants sourcing products internationally should understand the import obligations associated with the goods they offer. We assist businesses operating through independent websites, marketplace platforms, fulfillment providers, and direct-to-consumer sales channels with import readiness.

Amazon Sellers

Companies supplying inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers often need import documentation organized before products are shipped. Proper planning supports efficient inventory intake, minimizes avoidable delays, and contributes to a smoother product launch.

Distributors & Wholesalers

Organizations purchasing products from overseas manufacturers often evaluate supplier qualifications before placing international orders. We help review import readiness, assess available records, and identify regulatory considerations that may affect products entering the United States.

Retailers

Retail businesses expanding private label offerings or purchasing goods directly from foreign suppliers frequently benefit from early import planning. Our team assists with evaluating import preparedness before products arrive in the U.S. supply chain.
