Local entities you need with Aerodoc as your IOR
Brazil is the largest market in Latin America and one of the most demanding to import into. Its layered tax structure, documentation requirements, and product certifications can stall shipments for companies that do not have a local presence. As your Importer of Record (IOR), Aerodoc acts as the legal importer in Brazil, so you can sell and deploy hardware without opening a Brazilian entity.
Aerodoc is an international logistics company focused on Importer of Record services for technology, covering compliance, duties and taxes, permits, and delivery. In Brazil, that means one partner handling the parts of the import that are hardest to manage from abroad.
Why Importing into Brazil Is Different
Brazil combines federal and state-level import taxes with detailed documentation and, for many technology products, mandatory certifications such as telecom homologation. For a company without a Brazilian entity, each of these steps is a point where a shipment can be delayed or held. The value of an Importer of Record is that a single local partner absorbs that complexity and holds legal responsibility for the import.
This matters most for time-sensitive deployments, where servers, networking, telecom, and AV/IT equipment need to arrive on a fixed schedule and ready to install.
