Sell on Amazon India, Flipkart, and other marketplaces without setting up an Indian entity. We handle imports, customs, compliance, and fulfillment.
An Importer of Record (IOR) is a licensed entity that legally imports goods into India on behalf of international companies. India's FDI regulations require foreign companies to have a local presence to sell directly to consumers. Without an Indian entity, you cannot register for GST, open a bank account, or become an authorized marketplace seller.
Our IOR service solves this by acting as your legal importer. We handle customs clearance, duty payments, GST compliance, and marketplace seller registration—allowing you to start selling on Amazon India, Flipkart, Myntra, and other platforms within weeks, not months.

An Importer of Record is a licensed entity that legally imports goods into a country on behalf of a foreign company. The IOR assumes responsibility for customs clearance, duty payment, and regulatory compliance. For international brands selling in India without a local entity, an IOR is essential for legal market entry.
If you don't have an Indian legal entity (Private Limited Company or LLP), yes. Amazon India requires sellers to have valid GST registration and an Indian bank account. An IOR provides both, allowing you to sell legally while we handle all compliance.
Most consumer products can be imported: electronics (with BIS), cosmetics (with Drug License), food supplements (with FSSAI), fashion, home goods, baby products, and more. Restricted categories include alcohol, tobacco, and certain pharmaceuticals.
We collect payments from marketplaces in INR, deduct our fees and applicable taxes, and remit net proceeds to your international bank account in USD, EUR, or GBP. Settlements are typically monthly with detailed sales and fee reports.
You retain full ownership of inventory and brand rights. The IOR arrangement is purely for import and sales facilitation. We can also help you register your trademark in India for Brand Registry eligibility.
We manage all required certifications: BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) for electronics, FSSAI for food products, Drug License for cosmetics/skincare, Legal Metrology declarations, and WPC approval for wireless devices. Timeline varies from 4-12 weeks depending on product type.
Absolutely. Many brands start with IOR to test the market, then establish their own Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) once sales justify the investment. We provide a smooth transition, transferring Brand Registry, seller accounts, and inventory to your new entity.
Import duties vary by product category: Electronics (10-20%), Cosmetics (25-35%), Food products (30-50%), Apparel (20-25%), Home goods (15-25%). We provide a detailed landed cost analysis before you commit, factoring in duties, GST, and logistics.
